Mr.Klinker is 35 and his daughter is 10.
In how many years will Mr. Klinker be twice as old as his daughter?
-------------------
Let the number of years be "x".
Equation:
(35+x) = 2(10+x)
35 + x = 20 + 2x
x = 35-20
x = 15 (K will be twice as old as his daughter in 15 years)
====================================
Cheers,
Stan H.

The age difference is 25, so the daughter will be 25 and he will be 50.
Can you take it from there?
