Question 1132062: Solve the problem making a chart.
A Roman statue is three times as old as Florentine statue. One hundred years from now the Roman statue will be twice as old as Florentine statue. How old is the Roman statue? Answer by ikleyn(52778) (Show Source):
First phrase says
R = 3F (1) (regarding ages)
Second phrase says
R + 100 = 2*(F + 100). (2) (100 years after . . . )
Substitute (1) into (2) to get
3F + 100 = 2F + 200
and solve
3F - 2F = 100
F = 100.
Answer. F = 100; R = 300.
