You can put this solution on YOUR website! Bill is 3 times older than his daughter. In 1 year the sum of their ages will be 50. How old are they now?
---------
1 time older = twice as old
2 times older = 3 times as old
3 times older = 4 times as old
-----------
The sum of their ages now is 48
---
B + D = 48
B = 4D
---
4D + D = 48
D = 9.6
B = 38.4
