Let us consider 48 as 100%
so,
48------------->100
x -------------->75
therefore,
100*x=48*75
x=(48*75)/100
x=36
Emma is now 24 years old then Ben would be 2E, or 48 years old.
<h3>What is a system of equations?</h3>
A system of equations is two or more equations that can be solved to get a unique solution. the power of the equation must be in one degree.
Let B and E be Ben's and Emma's current ages, respectively.
We have given that;
Ben's age is currently twice of his sister, Emma.
B = 2E
and
8 years ago, Ben's age was 2 and a half times that of Emma's age
B-8 = 2.5(E-8)
We can substitute the value of B from the first equation into the last one
B-8 = 2.5(E-8)
(2E)-8 = 2.5(E-8)
2E-8 = 2.5E- 20
-0.5E = -12
E = 24
Thus, Emma is now 24 years old then Ben would be 2E, or 48 years old.
