Kate is 17 years old, and Victor is 12 years younger. In how many years will Kate be twice as old as Victor?
that is so wrong
Kate is 17 years old, and Victor is 12 years younger. In how many years will Kate be twice as old as Victor?
To find the number of years it will take for Kate to be twice as old as Victor, we can set up an equation.
Let's assume after "x" years, Kate will be twice as old as Victor.
Currently, Kate is 17 years old, and Victor is 12 years younger. So Victor's age is:
Victor = Kate - 12
After "x" years, Kate's age will be:
Kate = 17 + x
And Victor's age will be:
Victor = (Kate - 12) + x = Kate - 12 + x
Now, we can set up the equation:
Kate = 2 * Victor
Substituting the expressions for Kate and Victor:
17 + x = 2 * (Kate - 12 + x)
Now, we can solve this equation to find the value of "x."
v = 17-12 = 5
17+x = 2(5+x)
