Answer 1

Given

Camilo is twice as old as Lowen now. 10 years ago, Camilo was four times as old as Lowen

Answer

Let Lowen age be x

Camilo age is 2x

10 years ago

Lowens age = x-10

Camilo age = 2x - 10

A/Q

4(x-10) = 2x - 10

4x - 40 = 2x - 10

4x-2x = 40 - 10

2x = 30

x = 15

Lowens age = 15 years

Camilos age = 2 x 15 = 30 years
