let mr henry's age be and his son's age
if mr henry is more than times his sons age, we have
......eq.1
if years ago mr h was times his sons age, we have
.......eq.2
substitute from eq.1 in eq.2
.......eq.2
=> his son's age now
......eq.1
=>Mr Henry's age now
then in how many years (let it be ) will Mr Henry be times his sons age then
.....plug in current ages
in from now Mr Henry will be times his sons age
check it:
=>Mr Henry's age now,in from now Mr Henry will be
=> his son's age now,in from now his son will be
