Question 713798: Melinda's father Lester is 3 times as old as Melinda. Seven years ago, he was 4 times as old as Melinda. How old is each now?
I set it up like this:
3m = L
4m = L - 7 So 4m = 3m - 7
But then I get m = -7 Which makes no sense to me.
Please help

Question 719919: When Butch and Kent left for their trip, the ratio of Butch's money to Kent's money was 7:3. After a short while Butch gave Kent $30, making the new ratio of their cash 3:2. When they started the trip how much more money did Butch have than Kent?
How to solve this problem the correct way? I got the answer by process of elimination (just plugging in numbers till I found the correct answer) but I would like to know how to solve the problem the correct way.
For the first ratio 7:3, I found that Butch started with $210 and Kent with $90 (ratio 7:3)(7x30=210, 3x30=90). So Butch had $120 more than Kent when they started.
For the second ratio 3:2, if Butch gave Kent $30 he would have $180 (210-30=180) and Kent would have $120 (90+30=120) ending up with the correct 3:2 ratio. (3x60=180, 2x60=120).
But how can this be solved without just plugging in numbers until the correct answer is found? Thank you.
