Question

Seymour is twice as old as Cassandra. If 16 is added to Cassandra’s age and 16 is subtracted from Seymour’s age, their ages become equal. What are their present ages? PLEASE SHOW WORK!!!

Answer 1

S=2c AND s-16=c+16
Use substitution so...
2c-16=c+16
C=32
S=2c so s=64

Check: s-16=c+16...64-16=32+16...48=48

So Cassandra is 32 and Seymour’s is 64
