You can put this solution on YOUR website! a man is 56 years old and his son is 24 years old in how many years the father will be twice as old as his son at that time?
-------
Equation:
Let the number of years be "x":
-----
56 + x = 2(24 + x)
----
56 + x = 48 + 2x
x = 8 years (# of years till father is twice son's age)
