Cherry is 30 years old, while her daughter kaye is 3 years old.
When will she be 4 times as old as her daughter?
:
Let y = no. of years for this to be true
:
Cherry + y = 4 times Kaye + y
30 + y = 4(3 + y)
:
30 + y = 12 + 4y
:
30 - 12 = 4y - y
:
18 = 3y
y =
y = 6 years
:
:
See if this is true
Cherry will be 36, and Kaye will be 9; (4*9 = 36)
