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
