<PRE><B>Question 118345</B>
Betty&#39;s present age is twice Roni&#39;s present age.
Let Roni&#39;s present age be &quot;x&quot;; Then Betty&#39;s present age is &quot;2x&quot;.
-------------

Two years ago, Betty was three times as old as Roni was then.
Two years ago Roni was &quot;x-2&quot;; Betty was &quot;2x-2&quot;
-------
Find their present ages.
EQUATION:
2x-2 = 3(x-2)
2x-2 = 3x-6
x = 4 (Roni&#39;s present age)
2x= 8 (Betty[s present age)
================================
