Question 1073359: « I'm three times as old as you were when I was as old as you are now. When you will be my age, together we will be 13370 years old. » How old is Gandalf? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I thought 13370 was mistyped. But, if not:
Which one is Gandalf?
Where it says " I am ", I will call the present age
Where it says " you " , I will call the present age
--------------------------------------------------
" I'm three times as old as you were when I was as old as you are now."
---------------------
" as you are now "
That would be
" when I was as old as you are now."
I'll make the assumption that "I" am older than "you"
The difference in their ages is always
So I was
----------------------------
" as you were "
That would be:
-----------------------------------------
" I'm three times as old "
and
I am 8022
--------------------------
check answer:
----------------------------
" when I was as old as you are now. "
That's when
------------------------------------
" as old as you were "
Your age would have been:
-------------------------------
" I'm three times as old as you were "
OK
---------------------
DEFINITELY get another opinion on this.
I could easily be wrong.
Review the logic and the math
