A daughter is 28 years younger than her father. In 5 years, the father will be 3 times as old as the daughter. How old is each now?
---------
NOW DATA:
Father Age = x yrs ; Daughter Age = x-28
----------------
5 Yrs. from NOW DATA:
Father Age = x+5 yrs ; Daughter Age = (x-28+5)=x-23
-------------
EQUATION:
x+5 = 3(x-23)
x+5 = 3x-69
2x=74
x=37 (Father's age NOW)
x-28= 9 (daughter's age NOW)
==========
