Fifteen (15) years ago Jennifer was quarter of the age she would be fifteen (15) years form now. How old is Jennifer?
--------------
Let Jennifer's age 15 years ago be x.
Fifteen years from now she will be x+30
--------------
EQUATION:
x = (1/4)(x+30)
4x = x+30
3x = 30
x = 10 (Jennifer's age 15 years ago)
10+15 = 25 (Jernnifer's age now)
