+466 Wanatobe is 5 times as old as little Pete. Five years ago, Wanatobe's age exceeded 6 times the age of little Pete by 19 years. How old will both of them be in 17 years?
+129845 Let Pete's age = P so.....Wanatobe's = 5P
And
[5P - 5] - 19 = 6* [P - 5] simplify
5P - 5 - 19 = 6P - 30 rearrange
6 = P this is Pete's age now.......so Wantobe's age = 5(6) = 30
5 years ago, Pete was 1 and Wantobe = 25
And...as a check... 6(1) + 19 = 25
And in 17 years......Pete will be 23 and Wanatobe will be 47
