Question 724604: Building A was built 20 years before building B and 30 years after building C. In 10 years, building C will be 20 years younger than the combined ages of buildings A and B. What is the present age of each building?
I started to set up the problem and solve it, but my solution doesn't make any sense.
BUILDING A : Now = x-20 -> In 10 yrs = (x-20)+10
BUILDING B : Now = x -> In 10 yrs = x+10
BUILDING C : Now = x+30 -> In 10 yrs = (x+30)+10
BUILDING B
[(x+30)+10]-20=(x-20)+10+x+10
x+20=2x -> x-x+20=2x-x
x=20 <- Doesn�t Make Any Sense for the Age of B Now.

Question 724668: QUESTION - The present ages of three portraits are in the ration of 1 to 3 to 4. In three years, the sum of their ages will be 49 years. Find the present ages of the portraits.
I understand ratios, and I understand how they all would add up to 49 years. I don�t understand how to use them in this format w/the additional comparison. I tried to fill in as much as I could, but I know I�m way off. Once I get the setup I can complete the problem.
PORTRAIT 1 : Now = x -> In 3 Years = x+3
PORTRAIT 2 : Now = x+3 -> In 3 Years = (x+3)+3
PORTRAIT 3 : Now = x+4 -> In 3 Years = (x+4)+3
