54
+ >>> Two years ago, I was three times as old as my brother was. In three years, I will be twice as old as my brother. How old is each of us now?
55
+ Let's define the current age of you and your brother with variables.
56
+
57
+ You are Y years old.
58
+ Your brother is X years old.
59
+
60
+ Two years ago:
61
+ You were Y - 2 years old (because we're looking back in time).
62
+ Your brother was X - 2 years old.
63
+
64
+ Since two years ago, you were three times as old as your brother was, the equation would be:
65
+
66
+ Y - 2 = 3(X - 2)
67
+
68
+ Simplify and solve for X:
69
+
70
+ Y - 2 = 3X - 6
71
+ Y = 3X - 4
72
+
73
+ Now we know that Y (your current age) is three times your brother's age minus four. Let's use this to find your current age.
74
+
75
+ In three years:
76
+ You will be Y + 3 years old.
77
+ Your brother will be X + 3 years old.
78
+
79
+ Since in three years, you'll be twice as old as your brother:
80
+
81
+ Y + 3 = 2(X + 3)
82
+
83
+ Simplify and solve for X (your brother's current age):
84
+
85
+ Y + 3 = 2X + 6
86
+ Y - 2X = 3
87
+ (3X - 4) - 2X = 3
88
+ X - 4 = 3
89
+ X = 7
90
+
91
+ Now that we have your brother's current age, we can find yours:
92
+
93
+ Y = 3X - 4
94
+ = 3(7) - 4
95
+ = 21 - 4
96
+ = 17
97
+
98
+ So you are currently 17 years old, and your brother is 7 years old.
