Answer:

Kevin is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let k represent Kevin's age now. Then Brendon's age now is (k-3). Two years ago the relationship of their ages was ...

k-2 = 4((k-3) -2)

k -2 = 4k -20 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms

3k = 18 . . . . . . . . . . add 20-k

k = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Kevin is 6 now.

malfutka [58]

B.C. counts down to 0, and that's when A.D. starts counting up. That means you can add 582 and 1643, to get their difference. Pythagoras and Newton were born 2,225 years apart.
