How old is he now?

Anita is twice as old as Ramat, but three years ago, she was two years older than Ramat now.
​How old is Ramat now?

---

r = Ramat’s age now  
2r = Anita’s age now  {Anita is twice as old as Ramat right now}

r - 3 = Ramat’s age 3 years ago  {subtracted 3 from Ramat’s current age}
2r - 3 = Anita’s age 3 years ago  {subtracted 3 from Anita’s current age}

2r - 3 = r + 2  {three years ago, Anita was two years older than what Ramat is right now}
r = 5  {subtracted r and added 3 to each side}

Ramat is 5 now
