Question 363302: Please could someone kindly Help me!!!
This is my Question:
Mr Jeffries is twice as old as his daughter. In six years Mr Jeffries age will be three times what his daughter's age was six years ago. How old is each person now?
This is how I'm doing it not sure if right???
Mr.Jeffries x years-----> x+6
Daughter 2x years-----> 2x+6
(Jeffries)(Daughter)
3(x+6)= (2x+6)
3x+18 = 2x+6
3x-2x = 18-6
1x = 12
1x 1x
x = 12
I don't think this answer is right
Please Help!!!
Thanks:)
