If we assume that Lisa is x years old, then Richard will be (x + 6)years
In 5 years time
Lisa = x +5 years
Richard = x +11 years
sum will be 2x + 16 years
4 years ago
Lisa = x-4 years
Richard = x + 2
Sum will be 2x - 2
 Therefore;
2(2x-2) = 2x +16
4x -4 = 2x +16
      2x = 20
        x = 10 
Thus, the present age of Lisa is 10 years and that of Richard is 16 years

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

n = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

14n = 11n + 81 (Given)

14n - 11n = 11n - 11n + 81 (Subtraction Property of Equality)

3n = 81 (Simplify)

\frac{3n}{3} = \frac{81}{3} (Division Property of Equality)

n = 27 (Simplify)
