Jordan's age =J; Jordan's Uncle's age =3J; age difference=3J-J=28 years
Age difference:
3J-j=28 years
2J=28 years
J=14 years ANSWER 1 Jordan's Age
Jordan's Uncle:
Uncle's age =3J
Uncle's age =3(14 years)=42 years ANSWER 2 Jordan's Uncle's Age
CHECK:
Uncle's age - Jordan's age = 28 years
42 years - 14 years = 28 years
