Question 941090: In 1921, Grandpa is 2 times older than Tom in 2000. In 1930, Grandpa is 3 times older than Tom in 2000. What is grandpa age in 2000?
I'm not sure how to solve this but this is what I did:
(G = Grandpa age)
2G=3(G+9) --> 2G=3G+27 -->G=+27 a.k.a G=27 (Age in 1930) -->(2000-1930)+27 = 97 years old in 2000
