Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Seymour is twice as old as Cassandra. If 16 is added to Cassandra’s age and 16 is subtracted from Seymour’s age, their ages become equal.
We have to find their present ages.
Let the present age of Cassandra=x yrs
As Seymour is twice as old as Cassandra
∴ the present age of Seymour=2x yrs
According to question, if 16 is added to Cassandra’s age and 16 is subtracted from Seymour’s age, their ages become equal.
