~peter's age 13 yrs. ago of his age was 1/3 of his age 7 years hence. how old is peter?
Let x = P's age now
:
(x-13) = P's age 13 yrs ago
(x+7) = P's age in 7 yrs
:
An equation for what it says:
x-13 = (x+7)
multiply both sides by 3:
3(x-13) = x + 7
Multiply what's inside the brackets:
3x - 39 = x + 7
Add 39 and subtract x from both sides:
3x - x = 7 + 39
2x = 46
x =
x = 23 P'age now

You can check solution in our original equation

:
~a man is 41 yrs. old and in 7 yrs. he will be four times as old as his son is at that time. how old is his son?
:
41 + 7 = 48 man's age in 7 yrs
;
Let x = son's age
then
(x+7) = son's age in 7 yrs
:
A simple equation
4(x+7) = 48
:
You should be able to solve this now using the same method, let me know if you can't.
