No! You're adding 30 more years to your future age when you are 1.5 times your present age, so that would represent your age 60 years from now! Here's how to think it through how to set up the equation:= Add 30 years to your present age, which is x, and you'll get 1.5 times your present age. In 30 years I will be 1.5 times as old as I am now. How old am I now? x + 30 = 1.5x Solve that and get x = 60. You are 60 years old? (You surely don't look that old!) Edwin
