Mrs. Brooks lacks 7 years from being five times as old as her son. Six years from now she will lack 3 years from being three times as old as her son is then. Find each of their ages.
I tried to solve it for an hour before I gave up and looked online for help. Here's what I came up with:
Mrs. Brooks= x; Son (Brooks Junior)= y
5x-7=y
x+6=3(y+6)-3
x+6=3y+18-3
x+6=3(5x-7)+18-3
x+6=15x-21+18-3
x+6=15x-6
-6 -6
-------------
x=15x-12
-15x -15x
----------------
14x=-12
--- ----
14 14
x= -6
--
7
My answer makes no sense, because it's not possible to have a negative age. Help me, please!!!!!
