linda is 2 years older than greg in 7 years he will be 3 times the age that linda was 7 years ago what is gregs age
------
Equations:
L = G + 2
G+7 = 3(L-7)
------
Substitute for "L" and solve for "G":
G + 7 = 3(G+2-7)
G + 7 = 3G-15
2G = 22
G = 11 (Greg's age now)
------
Solve for "L":
L = G+2
L = 13 (Linda's age now)
