.

The equation you are asking for is THIS x + 3x + (3x+5) = 54, expressing (modeling) this condition John's age + mother's age + father's age = 54.

The post does not request to solve it, so I will stop at this point.

Who makes up these OUTRAGEOUS age problems. John is 7, his mother is 21, and his father's 26.
While very young mothers exist all over the world and there're cultures that consist of mothers that young, it is best, in my opinion, to not have these types of problems
that show girls being mothers at 14 years-of-age, and fathers at 19 years-of-age. It does happen, I'm sure, but I hope these people will desist from writing about it!!
