1.Gary is g years old today. two years ago, his grandfather was 3 times older than Gary at that time.
\n" ); document.write( "Gary = g yrs
\n" ); document.write( "f-2 = 3(g-2)
\n" ); document.write( "a.) the age difference of Gary and his grandfather is 48 years. write a linear equation to represent this age difference.
\n" ); document.write( "3(g-2)+2 - g = 48
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "b.) Find Gary's grandfather's age today.
\n" ); document.write( "3g-6+2 - g = 48
\n" ); document.write( "2g - 4 = 48
\n" ); document.write( "g = 24+2
\n" ); document.write( "g = 26 yrs (Gary's age now)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"f\":
\n" ); document.write( "f = 3(g-2)+2
\n" ); document.write( "f = 3g-4
\n" ); document.write( "f = 3*26-4 = 74 yrs (Grandfather's age now)
