Seymour is twice as old as cassandra. if 16 is added to cassandra’s age and 16 is subtracted from seymour’s age, their ages will be equal. what are their present ages?

The age of Cassandra is 32 years and Seymour is 64 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Cassandra be x.

The age of Seymour = 2x

If 16 is added to Cassandra’s age and 16 is subtracted from Seymour’s age, their ages will be equal.

x + 16 = 2x - 16

2x - x = 16 + 16

x = 32 years

x = 32 years

The age of Seymour = 2x =  2 × 32 years = 64 years

The age of Cassandra is 32 years and Seymour is 64 years old.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
