Ralph is 3 years old

Casey is 18 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Ralph be x

Then Casey is 6 times as old as Ralph will be 6x

In two years

Ralph =x+2

Casey=6x+2 ⇒ 4(x+2)

Equate the two equations for Casey as

6x+2 = 4x+8

6x-4x=8-2

2x=6

x=6/2= 3

Current age;

Ralph= x= 3 years old

Casey=6x = 6*3= 18 years
