Let s be the boy's swim speed. Then:
.9/s+1.5=.6/s-1.5
.6s+.9=.9s-1.35
.3s=2.25
s=7.5 mph as the boy's swimming speed

Abigail is 8 years older than Cynthia. Twenty years ago Abigail was three times as old as Cynthia. How old is each now?
irina [24]
A - age of Abigail
C - age of Cynthia

A = C + 8

A - 20 = 3 (C - 20) 

A - 20 = 3C - 60  

C + 8 - 20 = 3C - 60

C - 12 = 3C - 60                A = C + 8

2C = 48                             A = 24 + 8 

C = 24 years                     A = 32 years

icang [17]

Answer:Mark Is 9 years old; Christine is 5 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age

LET  mark age be x

Christine be x-4 yrs

In 3 yrs Time

Mark will be x+3 yrs old

Christine  will be  (x -4 +3) = x-1 years old

Also, In 3 years time

Christine  = 2/3 Mark

such that

  x-1 = 2/3(x+3)

  x -1= 2x+6 / 3

    3x  -3= 2x+6

      3X--2X = 6+3

         =X=9

Mark Is 9 years old

Christine is   x -4 = 9-4=5 years old
