You can put this solution on YOUR website! john is 5 years younger than robert. If the sum of their ages in 8 years time is 37, find john's age in 3 years time?
let robert's age be x
john's age is x-5 years
after 8 years Robert will be x+8
After 8 years John will be (x-5)+8
sum of their ages then (x+8)+(x-5)+8 =37
2x+11=37
2x=37-11
2x=26
x=13
Robert's age = 13-5=8
After 3 years Robert will be 8+3 = 11 years
