The difference in the age between Warren and Luis remains unchanged.
Luis's current age = 1 u
Warren's current age = 1 u + 12
Combined age of Warren and Johny 13 years ago
= 1 u + 1 u + 12
= 2 u + 12
2 u + 12 = 62
2 u = 62 - 12
2 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 2 = 25
Warren's current age
= 1 u + 25
= 25 + 25
= 50
Answer(s): 50
