Santiago is eight years younger than Juan is today. If, in four years, Santiago will be half Juan’s age, how old is Santiago today? a) 1 b) 2 c) 3 d) 4

d) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Santiago be x years old today.

Then Juan is x + 8 years old.

In 4 years Santiago will be x + 4 years.

In 4 years Juan will be x + 12 years.

From the given information:

x + 4 = 0.5(x + 12)

x = 0.5x + 6 - 4

0.5x = 2

x = 2 / 0.5

x = 4.

i agree because i see the other persons thinking is clear

yes.. it's proven to be 36.
