Question 1085332: Kevin was asked how old he is. He answered "if you tripple my age in teo years' time, it will be the same as multiplying my age from four years ago by 5" how old is Kevin now? Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let a = Kevin's age now
His age in 10 years tripled is 3(a + 10)
His age 4 years ago multiplied by 5 is 5( a - 4)
Set these equal to each other, and solve for a:
3(a + 10) = 5(a - 4)
2a = 50
a = 25
Ans: 25 years old
