Question

If Isaac were born four
years before his real
birthday, his current age
would be five times Emma's
current age. Isaac is
fifty-two years older than
Emma. How old is Isaac?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I= (4 + x ) * 5 E= x

I: 52 more than Emma

(4+x) * 5 = x + 52

20 + 5x = x + 52

5x - x = 52 - 20

4x = 32

x = 8

so then

E= 8

I= 12 × 5 = 60
