Answer:
Carlos is 35 years old now
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume that Carlos is x years old now
∵ Carlos is x years old now
∵ Carlos is 33 years younger than Kristen
- Kirsten's age is the sum of x and 33
∴ Kirsten is x + 33 years old now
2 years ago
∵ Carlos's age = x - 2
∵ Kristen's age = x + 33 - 2 = x + 31
∵ Kristen's age was 2 times Carlos's age
- Equate Kristen's age by 2 times Carlos's age
∴ x + 31 = 2(x - 2)
- Simplify the right hand side
∴ x + 31 = 2x - 4
- Subtract x from both sides
∴ 31 = x - 4
- Add 4 to both sides
∴ 35 = x
∵ x represents Carlos's age now
∴ Carlos is 35 years old now
