You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Average age at your parents is 45 years.
---
(m+d)/2 = 45
m+d = 90
---------------------
When your age is counted the avarage 33. What is your age?
(m+d+y)/3 = 33
m+d+y = 99
------
Substitute for "m+d" and solve for "y":
90 + y = 99
y = 9 yrs (your age now)
