6. Anna is now four times as old as her brother jong. In 4years, Anna's age will be twice Jong's age then. how old is each now?

1 answer

Let's assume Anna's age is A and Jong's age is J.

According to the first statement, we have:
A = 4J

According to the second statement, in 4 years:
A + 4 = 2(J + 4)

Substitute the value of A from the first equation into the second equation:
4J + 4 = 2(J + 4)
4J + 4 = 2J + 8
2J = 4
J = 2

Now, substitute the value of Jong's age back into the first equation:
A = 4(2)
A = 8

Therefore, Anna is 8 years old and Jong is 2 years old.
