Question 1023466: Express the following in algebraic form
Tom's grandfather's age, if he is 9 time of what Tom will be 5 years from now? Tom age is expressed in terms of x.

Given that Tom's present age is x.
Tom's age in five years will be x+5
The question tell us that the grandfather's age will be 9 times of Tom's age after five years,
So, Grandfather's age is 9(x+5).
Hope this helps!

Cheers!
