Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.
x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.
Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.
x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22
Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.

Answer:
x = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
To find f(g(x)) substitute x = g(x) into f(x), that is
f(g(x))
= f(x + 1)
= 2(x + 1)² ← expand using FOIL
= 2(x² + 2x + 1) ← distribute
= 2x² + 4x + 2
To find g(f(x)) substitute x = f(x) into g(x), that is
g(f(x))
= g(2x²)
= 2x² + 1
----------------------------------------------------------
Equating gives
2x² + 4x + 2 = 2x² + 1 ( subtract 2x² + 1 from both sides )
4x + 1 = 0 ( subtract 1 from both sides )
4x = - 1 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = - 
The ratio of dates to peanuts is the same as cashews to raisins. Simplified, both ratios equal 1/2.
