Question 1201109
<br>
Starting with the information that Ral will be twice as old as Shein in 10 years....<br>
x = Shein's age 10 years from now
2x = Ral's age 10 years from now<br>
Their ages now are then<br>
Shein: x-10
Ral: 2x-10<br>
The sum of their current ages is 28:<br>
(x-10)+(2x-10) = 28
3x-20 = 28
3x = 48
x = 48/3 = 16<br>
ANSWERS:
Shein's current age: x-10 = 16-10 = 6
Ral's current age: 2x-10 = 32-10 = 22<br>
