Question 834908: Hi,
I was having a difficulty with this age word problem. It goes like this:
John is now 3 times as old as his brother Sam. In 5 years, John will be twice as old as Sam will be then. Find their present ages.
So I came up with the fact that you can place John as 3x, and Sam as just x, but I couldn't get further than that!
