Question 1126052: Hi!
I have an algebra word problem that says:
A man's age is now five ninths of what it will be in 18 years from now. How old is he now?
I started the problem and decided the equation would be x=5/9(18+x), but I never get a whole number. Could you explain this a little more in depth with me? And if your equation is different than mine, could you also explain how you got the equation?
Thank you so much!

Question 1126053: Hi!
I'm a little confused on this algebra word problem:
One fifth of a man's age 6 years ago equals one seventh of his age 10 years hence. How old is he now?
Is the equation 1/5x-6=1/7x+10 if X equals the man's age? If that is not the equation, could you explain how to get the equation and also how to solve the equation?
Thank you so much!
