Problema Solution

Shane is twice as old as his daughter. In 42 years, the ratio of their ages will be 4:3. What is the daughter's current age?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the daughter's age, then '2x' represents Shane's aget


Shane's age must be represented by '4' in the ration 4:3, so:

4/3 = (2x+42)/(x+42)

solving for 'x' we have x=21


the daughter's current age is 21
