Question

Luke is twice the age of Sam . In three years he will be 3/4 the age of Luke . How old are Sam and Luke?

Answer 1

let the age of sam be x;
than lukes age = 2x given;
after 3 years sam age = x+3,
lukes age = 2x+3;
according to question ....
x+3 = 3/4(2x+3) =>
4x+12 = 6x+9 =>
3=2x=>
x=1.5 years
so current age of sam = x+3 => 1.5+3 = 4.5 yrs
and
lukes age = 2*1.5 + 3 = 6 years
