You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
In English, "3 times older" means "4 times as old as".
So, the problem, as it is formulated in the post, has no integer solution at all,
and, therefore, is DEFECTIVE.
For this lesson, you MUST send your "THANKS" to me (as educated persons do), instead of expressing your dissatisfaction.
