Answer 1

Answer: C (21)

Step-by-step explanation:

I am translating into algebra.

Set Scott's age five years ago to: x

Set Paul's age five years ago to: 2x-4

Scott's age now is his age five years ago, plus five, which is: x+5

Paul's age now is his age five years ago, plus five, which is: 2x-4+5 or 2x+1

Since Paul is now six years older than Scott,  set Scott's age (x+5) equal to Paul's age, plus six, which is: 2x+1=x+5+6

Solve the equation to get: x=10

Substitute x for 10 in Paul's current age: 2*10+1=21.

Therefore, C is the correct answer.
