At some point during the lives of you and the youngest person, your age will be three times his age at that moment.
---------------------------------------
Write an equation which models how old in years each of you will be when you are three times as old as the younger person.
---------------------------------------
Oldest person's age is 54 and youngest person's age is 32
-----------
Equation:
(54+x) = 3(32+x)
54+x = 96+3x
2x = -42
x = -21
----
Age at which you are 3 times the age of the younger person:
You: 54+x = 54-21 = 33
Younger: 32+x = 32-21 = 11
