Algebra ->  Customizable Word Problem Solvers  -> Age -> SOLUTION: John is three years older than Jim. Jim is four years less than twice David's age. How old are the three boys if their ages add up to 35?       Log On

John       +  Jim    + David = 35


((2x-4)+3) + (2x-4)  +  x    = 35



It is your equation.


Now you should solve it and determine x, which is the David's age.
