The sum of the ages of Colton and Valerie is 76 years. 11 years ago, Colton's age was 2 times Valerie's age. How old is Colton now?

Answer 1

C+V = 76

C= 76-V

C-11= 2(V-11) = 2V-22

76-V -11 = 2V-22

3V= 87

V= 87/3= 29 years old

C=76-29= 47 years old

11 years ago they were 18 and 36, 36 =2(18)
