Problema Solution
Chris is 24 years older than his daughter Julie. In two years time, Julie's age would be half that of Chris. How old are they?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
c =the age of Chris now
j = the age of Julie now
Chris is 24 years older than his daughter Julie:
c = 24 + j
In two years time, Julie's age would be half that of Chris:
j + 2 = (1/2)(c + 2)
by solving the system of equations:
c = 24 + j
j + 2 = (1/2)(c + 2)
we find:
c = 46 years
j = 22 years
