10. This year, Tayson is 11 years older than Bayao. Three years ago, the sum of their
ages was 67. Determine how old Isaac and Tayson are this year.
ANSWER: Bayao is 31 years old, Tayson is 42 years old
RATIONALE: The problem is asking Tayson and Bayao’s ages in current year. Let x be
the Bayao’s age in the present year. Then Tayson age is x+11. Let x-3 be Bayao’s age
3 years ago. Then Tayson’s age 3 years ago is x+11-3 or x-8. Tayson‘s age (past) +
Bayao’s age (past) = 67. (x-3)+(x+8)= 67. 2x= 62, x=31.
Since x represents Isaac’s age in the present, then Bayao is 31 years old in the present.
Meanwhile, since Tayson is 11 years older that Isaac in the present, therefore, Tayson
is 31+11=42 years old.
