Question 1

Emma is twice as old as Saachi was 7 years ago. The difference between their ages is 9 years. How old is Emma?
Let Saachi's current age = x
Then 7 years ago, Saachi was (x - 7)
Emma = 2(x - 7) = 2x - 14
Difference: Emma - x = (2x - 14) - x = x - 14
Given difference = 9
So x - 14 = 9 → x = 23 = 23
Then Emma = 2(23 - 7) = 32

Question 2

Ivy is twice as old as Cooper was 7 years ago. The difference between their ages is 19 years. How old is Ivy?
Let Cooper's current age = x
Then 7 years ago, Cooper was (x - 7)
Ivy = 2(x - 7) = 2x - 14
Difference: Ivy - x = (2x - 14) - x = x - 14
Given difference = 19
So x - 14 = 19 → x = 33 = 33
Then Ivy = 2(33 - 7) = 52

Question 3

Aditya is twice as old as Kunal was 7 years ago. The difference between their ages is 23 years. How old is Aditya?
Let Kunal's current age = x
Then 7 years ago, Kunal was (x - 7)
Aditya = 2(x - 7) = 2x - 14
Difference: Aditya - x = (2x - 14) - x = x - 14
Given difference = 23
So x - 14 = 23 → x = 37 = 37
Then Aditya = 2(37 - 7) = 60

Question 4

Mahak is twice as old as Arianna was 8 years ago. The difference between their ages is 5 years. How old is Mahak?
Let Arianna's current age = x
Then 8 years ago, Arianna was (x - 8)
Mahak = 2(x - 8) = 2x - 16
Difference: Mahak - x = (2x - 16) - x = x - 16
Given difference = 5
So x - 16 = 5 → x = 21 = 21
Then Mahak = 2(21 - 8) = 26

Question 5

Dinesh is twice as old as Archana was 8 years ago. The difference between their ages is 24 years. How old is Dinesh?
Let Archana's current age = x
Then 8 years ago, Archana was (x - 8)
Dinesh = 2(x - 8) = 2x - 16
Difference: Dinesh - x = (2x - 16) - x = x - 16
Given difference = 24
So x - 16 = 24 → x = 40 = 40
Then Dinesh = 2(40 - 8) = 64

Question 6

Jack is twice as old as Autumn was 4 years ago. The difference between their ages is 9 years. How old is Jack?

Difference: Jack - x = (2x - 8) - x = x - 8
Given difference = 9
So x - 8 = 9 → x = 17 = 17
Then Jack = 2(17 - 4) = 26

Question 7

Nira = 2(x - 7) = 2x - 14
Difference: Nira - x = (2x - 14) - x = x - 14
Given difference = 11
So x - 14 = 11 → x = 25 = 25
Then Nira = 2(25 - 7) = 36

Question 8

Brooklyn = 2(x - 4) = 2x - 8
Difference: Brooklyn - x = (2x - 8) - x = x - 8
Given difference = 15
So x - 8 = 15 → x = 23 = 23
Then Brooklyn = 2(23 - 4) = 38
