Question

Adele is 5 years older than Timothy. In three years, Timothy will be 2/3 of Adele’s age. What is Adele’s current age?

Answer 1

A=T+5, T=2/3 A

Plug the second value of T into the first equation, then subtract 3.

Answer 2

She's 12?

Answer 3

aish I'm confusing myself >.<

Answer 4

ok on the first equation
A= T+5

for the second equation
In three years, Timothy will be 2/3 of Adele’s age.

in three years, Timothy will be (T+3) years old
and Adelle will be (A+3)
so you should write
(T+3)= 2/3 * (A+3)

Answer 5

Yup. Good job!
