Question

Adele is 5 years older than Timothy. In three years Timothy will be 2\3 of Adele's age. what is adele's currrent age

Answer 1

Let Adele's age be A and Timothy's be T.

A = T + 5
In 3 years: T + 3 = (2/3)(A + 3)

Substitute A: T + 3 = (2/3)(T + 8)
Multiply by 3: 3T + 9 = 2T + 16 → T = 7

So Adele = T + 5 = 7 + 5 = 12.

Adele is 12 years old.
