What is the age now

Question

wayra is 50 yrd younger than patriciana.7 yrs ago,patriciana age was 3 times wayras age.How old is wyra now

Answer 1

p=w+50

p-7 = 3(w-7)= 3w-21

p=3w -14

set the two expressions for p equal and solve for w

3w-14 = w+50

2w = 64

w = 64/2 = 32 years old now for Wayra

p =32+50 = 82 years old now for Patricia

7 years ago they were 25 and 75

75 = 3 times 25
