Answer 1

You are going to be 40 years old.
Twice = 2
2 times 20 is 40.

Answer 2

Answer:

I am 42 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In 2 years i will be twice as old as i was 20 years ago.

To Find : Current age

Solution :

Let the current age be x years.

After two years i will be (x+2) years

20 years ago i was (x-20)years

Since we are given that in 2 years i will be twice as old as i was 20 years ago.

⇒$x+2 = 2 (x-20)$

⇒$x+2 = 2x-40$

⇒$40+2 = 2x-x$

⇒$42 = x$

Thus my current age 'x' = 42 years.

Hence i am 42 years old
