Connie is 15 years younger than Linda. When Connie got married she was two-third Linda's age.
How old was Connie when she wed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let x was the Connie age when she got married.
Then (at that time), Linda was x+15 years old AND x = ,
From this equation, 3x = 2*(x+15), or
3x = 2x + 30
3x - 2x = 30
x = 30.
ANSWER. When Connie got married she was 30 years old.
