Answer 1

Answer:

Kevin is 7, Uncle Rob is 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's express the information given by the question statement.

1. Tonya (T) is twice Kevin's (K) age: T = 2K

2. In three years, Tonya (T) will be 17: T + 3 = 17

3. In another three years, Uncle Rob (R) will be 3x Tonya's (T) age: R = 3(T+3+3)

From 2, we can say that Tonya is now 14.

First equation becomes: 17 = 2K ... which means K = 7, Kevin is 7.

Third equation becomes: R = 3 (14 + 3 + 3) = 3 (20) = 60

In six years, Rob will be 60.  So, now, he's 54 (60-6).
