Question 14 Back to Exercise

Two brothers are 32 years old in all. The elder's age 6 years ago equals the younger's age 2 years from now. How old is the elder?

  • A 18 years
  • B 22 years
  • C 24 years
  • D 20 years Correct
Correct Answer: Option D

e − 6 = y + 2 → e − y = 8

e + y = 32

e = (32 + 8) ÷ 2 = 20

Answer: 20 years
