Question

Peter is 8 years younger than Alex. In 9 years time, the sum of their ages will be 76 . How old is Alex now?

Answer 1

P = 25

A = 33

Explanation:

P + 8 = A

P + 9 + A + 9 = 76

P + A = 58

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

P = 58 - A

P = 58 - P - 8

2 P = 50

P = 25

A = 33

Answer 2

Peter is a-8 in 9 years, (a-8)+ 9+ a+ 9= 76
