Casey is 18 years old and Ralph is 3 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Age of Casey = x
Age of Ralph = y
According to given statement;
x = 6y Eqn 1
In two years
x+2=4(y+2)
x+2=4y+8
x = 4y+8-2
x = 4y+6 Eqn 2
Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2
Dividing both sides by 2
Putting y=3 in Eqn 1
Casey is 18 years old and Ralph is 3 years old.
