THE SUM OF MR LEE'S AND HIS SON'S AGE IS 49. IN THREE YEARS TIME, HE WILL BE 4 TIMES AS OLD AS HIS SON. FIND THEIR PRESENT AGES
-----------
L = Mr. Lee's age
S = Son's age
----------
S+L = 49
L+3 = 4*(S+3)
----------
Sub for L, L = 49-S
49-S + 3 = 4*(S+3)
52-S = 4S+12
40 = 5S
S = 8
----
L = 49-S
L = 41
