in year 2014, rob's age was 30 years old while kobe is 23 years old .in what year will rob be three halves as old as kobe?
-----
Note: Rob is 30-23 = 7 yrs older than Kobe.
------
Equation:
Let the number of years be "x"::
30+x = (3/2)(23+x)
----
60+2x = 69 + 3x
----
x = -9
-----
Ans: 2014 - 9 = 1995 (the year rob will be (3/2)Kobe's age
