I was 14 when my niece was born.
How old will she and I be when I'm three times her age?
:
Let n = niece's age when you are 3 times her age
then
(n+14) = your age at that time
:
n + 14 = 3n
14 = 3n - n
14 = 2n
n =
n = 7 yrs old is the niece
and you are:
7 + 14 = 21 yrs old, (which is 3 time your niece's age)
