when roger is 37 years old, he is 3 times as old as he is now.
let x = how old he is now.
the equation becomes:
3 * x = 37
divide both sides of this equation by 3 to get:
x = 37/3 which is equal to 12 and 1/3.
roger is 12 and 1/3 years old today.
3 * 12 and 1/3 is equal to 36 and 3/3 which is equal to 37.
when he is 37 years old, he is 3 times as old as 12 and 1/3.
he is 12 and 1/3 years old today.
