Unfortunately, I didn't redirect it immediately to the TRASH SECTION, where it MUST BE.


Unfortunately, @josgarithmetic performed some actions, pretending that he solves it . . .

(what ?   the problem ?   which problem ?   where you see the problem here ?)


Next time I will be more smart and will cut such posts in small pieces and redirected them into the GARBAGE BOX without explanations.


It is   WHY  I  SAY  THAT  @josgarithmetic  interfers/hampers/obstructs me to work at this forum.


        @josgarithmetic, what SUBSTANCE is inside your head ?

The problem description is horribly written. Change it to something like this:

===============
John is x years old and his sister Alicia is (5 times 12) years old. Also, Alicia is twice as old as john. write down an equation connecting their ages and find their ages.
===============

Obviously, Alicia is 60 years old, and since given that 60 is TWICE John's age, .

Simplest of equations; x is , John's age, and Alicia's age was already given.
