Carol is three times older than Andrew. Brad is two years older than Andrew. In six years, the sum of Andrew’s and Brad’s ages will be the same as Carol’s age. How old is Carol?
Write each piece of information as an equation using the variables A, B, and C for the current ages of Andrew, Brad, and Carol, respectively.
C = 3A
B = A + 2
(A + 6) + (B + 6) = C + 6
Therefore, Andrew is 8 years old. To find Carol’s age, multiply Andrew’s age by three. Thus, Carol is currently 24 years old.
