Sagot :
Alan is 14 years old
He is twice as old as James
then Alan is the elder brother
Alan is twice as old means his age is double the age of James
Alans age = 2 x james age
that means James must be half of Alans age
Alans age = 14 years
James age = 14 / 2 = 7 years
therefore James is 7 years old
