If Jade is 9 years older than Rose and in 4 years, Jade will be double Rose's age, how old is Jade now?

The correct answer is: 14

To find out Jade's current age, let's break down the information given in the question. Jade is currently 9 years older than Rose. We can express this relationship mathematically: if we let Rose's current age be represented as "R," then Jade's current age would be "R + 9." The question also states that in 4 years, Jade will be double Rose's age at that time. In 4 years, Rose's age will be "R + 4" and Jade's age will be "(R + 9) + 4," which simplifies to "R + 13." Since Jade will be double Rose's age in 4 years, we set up the equation: R + 13 = 2(R + 4). Expanding and solving the equation gives: R + 13 = 2R + 8 R - 2R = 8 - 13 -R = -5 R = 5. Rose is currently 5 years old. To find Jade's current age, we substitute Rose's age into the equation for Jade's age: Jade's age = R + 9 = 5 + 9 = 14. Thus, Jade is currently
