Question

Ron is twice as old as his nephew. The sum of their ages is 108. How old is Ron?

Answer 1

If the nephew is x years, then Ron is 2x.
Let's set up an equation here, aight?

\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow 2x + x = 108 }\)
\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow 3x = 108 }\)
\(\Large \color{MidnightBlue}{\Rightarrow x = 36 }\)

Recall that Ron is 2x and x = 36. Ron is 2 * 36 = 72 years old.

Answer 2
