The difference in the age between Warren and his auntie at first and in the end remains the same.
Difference in the age between Warren and his auntie
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
The increase in age of Warren and his auntie remains the same.
Number of years' time so Warren's auntie will be 6 times as old as Warren
= 5 - 2
= 3
