Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Five years ago, E was three times as old as F. If F is currently 10 years old, how old is E now?
  • Step 1: Determine F's current age, which is given as 10 years old.
  • Step 2: Calculate F's age five years ago by subtracting 5 from F's current age: 10 - 5 = 5 years old.
  • Step 3: According to the problem, five years ago, E was three times as old as F. So, calculate E's age at that time: 3 * 5 = 15 years old.
  • Step 4: Now, to find E's current age, add 5 years to E's age from five years ago: 15 + 5 = 20 years old.
