Problema Solution

Eureka is 15 years younger than Renton. In 2 years Renton will be four times as old as Eureka. How old are they now?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent Eureka's age, then 'x+15' represents Renton's age


(x+15+2) = 4(x+2)

solving for 'x' we have x=3


3+15=18


Eureka is 3, Renton is 18
