Q 2. Peter is ( 7 ) years older than his sister. 9 years ago, he was twice as old as his sister

2009-02-05 23:45:54 補充：
Let P be the age of Peter now.
therefore the age of sister is P-7 now.

2009-02-05 23:45:58 補充：
9 years ago, Peter's age is P-9, and his sister's age is P-7-9 = P-16
He was twice as old as his sister 9 years ago, so
P-9 = 2 * (P-16) = 2P-32
P = 23

Therefore Peter's age is 23 years old now.

Thank you so much!
