Question

Babalwa is 12 year older than his brother Sibongile .Four years ago she was three times as he was then . how old are brother and sister now

Answer 1

Why don't you try to work on this, then submit your effort as a Comment, and ask tutors to assist.

In this way, you may train yourself to attack a problem, using trial & error to see if you can solve it.

In that way, you will develop your own problem-solving ability and become more self-reliant etc.

 

Hint: Let b = Babalwa's age...so his brother's age has to be b-12, now.

 

What were their ages (each) 4 years ago?  What relationship can you convert into an equation for that situation?
