For this question, you would have to put a number in to represent the variable or the missing number, let's say that Brad is 6 and Brad's dad is 4 times older than Brad, so you would have to multiply 6 and 4 together and that is 24. In 4 years, Brad will be one-third of Brad's age, so that means that Brad would be 10 and the father would be 28.

The condition is written inaccurately and contains errors that make the solution impossible.

My advise to the sender is: if you want to have this problem solved, then edit the condition and re-submit it.
