Answer:
Half the age of Carlos four years ago is 2 years more than one-third his current age.
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to write a word problem for the equation.
[tex] \frac{1}{2} (x - 4) = \frac{1}{3}x + 2[/tex]
Let x represent the present age of Carlos.
Four years ago, Carlos was x-4 years.
Half his age four years ago is ½(x-4)
Two years more than one-third his current age is ⅓x+2
