(I can't clearly understand what they expected as answer so please help me with this.) Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A man is 41 years old and his son is 9
Let x be 'the number of years ahead' when the father will be three times as old as the son
41 + x = 3(9+x)
14 = 2x
7 = x
In seven years, the father will be three times as old as the son
