📘 FULL DESCRIPTION
In this video, we solve a classic age word problem using algebra and logical reasoning:
Dan is 6 years older than Ann.
In two years, Dan will be twice as old as Ann.
The question is: How old is Dan now?
Many students struggle with age problems because:
• they mix up “now” and “in two years”
• they don’t define variables clearly
• or they set up the equation incorrectly
In this lesson, we show how to:
✔ define variables
✔ translate words into an equation
✔ solve step by step
✔ check the solution
Age problems like this appear often in:
• Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1
• GED, HiSET, ASVAB
• SAT and ACT
• College placement tests
• Teacher certification exams
• Homeschool math
Before watching — can you figure out Dan’s age?
