Let Pat's age be x

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

then twoice of pat's age =2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

ron's age=5+2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7x?

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

by the given question ron's age+pat's age =35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

so we need to solve (5+2x)+x<35 that is 3x<10 that is x<10

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

so the greatest integer less than 10 is 9 and hence 9 is the answer

ok thanks
