mr. cruz is 3 years older. he would be the same age as mr. john. mr. john is 46 years old. how old is mr. cruz now?

Answer 1

49 years old. DUHH

Answer 2

I'd say that the question needs to be retyped. It appears that it should read

If Mr. Cruz were 3 years older, he would be the same age as Mr. John. Mr. John is 46 years old. how old is Mr. Cruz now?

43 years old. DUH.

If I got it wrong, say (clearly) what is the question.
