Question 1069486: Paul has a son named David. The sum of their ages is 84. After three years, Paul will be twice as old as David. What are their ages now? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let David be d. Then Paul is 84-d. So:
2(d+3)=84-d+3
2d+6=87-d
3d=81
d=27
David is 27; Paul is 57. ☺☺☺☺
