    6 years from now Cindy will be 25 years old. in 12 years, the sum of the ages of Cindy and Jose will be 91. how old is Jose right now?

    Let c be Cindy's age and j be Jose's age. We have:
    c + 6 = 25

    This means c = 19 using our equation calculator.

    We're told in 12 years, c + j = 91.
    If Cindy's age (c) is 19 right now, then in 12 years, she'll be 19 + 12 = 31.

    So we have 31 + j = 91.

    Using our equation calculator, we get j = 60.
