Can you please help me solve this age problem?
Casey is 4 years older than Aaron. Three times Casey’s age in 3 years will equal 2 less than 5 times Aaron’s age in 3 years. How old are they now?
The answer is Casey is 8, Aaron is 4.
This is how I setup the equation but it doesn’t turn out the right answer. I am not sure what numbers are inside or outside the parentheses.
Casey x+4
Aaron x
In 3 years
Casey 3(x+4+3)
Aaron 5(x-2+3)
Thanks in advance.
