Question 1

When Dante was born, Dominic was 12 years old. The sum of their present ages is 26. Find Dante's age when Dante was half of Dominic's age (this will happen in 5 years).
Let Dante's current age = 7, Dominic's current age = 19
Given: When Dante was born (0 years old), Dominic was 12 years old.
Therefore, Dominic is always 12 years older than Dante.
So 19 = 7 + 12 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Dante's age = ½ of Dominic's age
Equation: 7 + t = ½(19 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 27 + 2t = 19 + t
Simplify: 27 + 2t - t = 19
27 + t = 19
t = 19 - 27
t = 19 - 14 = 5

At that time, Dante's age = 7 + 5 = 12
Verification: When Dante is 12, Dominic is 24 = 24
Check: Is 12 = ½ × 24? ½ × 24 = 12.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (12) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 2

When Ishaan was born, Zoe was 3 years old. The sum of their present ages is 33. Find Ishaan's age when Ishaan was half of Zoe's age (this will happen 12 years ago).
Let Ishaan's current age = 15, Zoe's current age = 18
Given: When Ishaan was born (0 years old), Zoe was 3 years old.
Therefore, Zoe is always 3 years older than Ishaan.
So 18 = 15 + 3 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Ishaan's age = ½ of Zoe's age
Equation: 15 + t = ½(18 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 215 + 2t = 18 + t
Simplify: 215 + 2t - t = 18
215 + t = 18
t = 18 - 215
t = 18 - 30 = -12

At that time, Ishaan's age = 15 + -12 = 3
Verification: When Ishaan is 3, Zoe is 6 = 6
Check: Is 3 = ½ × 6? ½ × 6 = 3.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (3) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 3

When Lucia was born, Shree was 17 years old. The sum of their present ages is 47. Find Lucia's age when Lucia was half of Shree's age (this will happen in 2 years).
Let Lucia's current age = 15, Shree's current age = 32

Therefore, Shree is always 17 years older than Lucia.
So 32 = 15 + 17 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Lucia's age = ½ of Shree's age
Equation: 15 + t = ½(32 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 215 + 2t = 32 + t
Simplify: 215 + 2t - t = 32
215 + t = 32
t = 32 - 215
t = 32 - 30 = 2

At that time, Lucia's age = 15 + 2 = 17
Verification: When Lucia is 17, Shree is 34 = 34
Check: Is 17 = ½ × 34? ½ × 34 = 17.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (17) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff

Question 4

When Jordan was born, Vaibhav was 9 years old. The sum of their present ages is 37. Find Jordan's age when Jordan was half of Vaibhav's age (this will happen 5 years ago).

Therefore, Vaibhav is always 9 years older than Jordan.
So 23 = 14 + 9 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Jordan's age = ½ of Vaibhav's age
Equation: 14 + t = ½(23 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 214 + 2t = 23 + t
Simplify: 214 + 2t - t = 23
214 + t = 23
t = 23 - 214
t = 23 - 28 = -5

Given: When Mridul was born (0 years old), Kunal was 25 years old.
Therefore, Kunal is always 25 years older than Mridul.
So 36 = 11 + 25 ✓

Condition: Find t such that Mridul's age = ½ of Kunal's age
Equation: 11 + t = ½(36 + t)
Multiply both sides by 2: 211 + 2t = 36 + t
Simplify: 211 + 2t - t = 36
211 + t = 36
t = 36 - 211
t = 36 - 22 = 14

At that time, Mridul's age = 11 + 14 = 25
Verification: When Mridul is 25, Kunal is 50 = 50
Check: Is 25 = ½ × 50? ½ × 50 = 25.0 ✓

Multiply both sides by 2: 212 + 2t = 20 + t
Simplify: 212 + 2t - t = 20
212 + t = 20
t = 20 - 212
t = 20 - 24 = -4

At that time, Ram's age = 12 + -4 = 8
Verification: When Ram is 8, Peyton is 16 = 16
Check: Is 8 = ½ × 16? ½ × 16 = 8.0 ✓

Note: Mathematically, this always equals the age difference (8) because:
event_age = current_a + t = current_a + (current_b - 2·current_a) = current_b - current_a = age_diff
