Difference in ages: 16 (29 - 13)
When you are the age your father was when you were born, he will be twice your age. Now that he's twice your age,
yours is the difference between the 2 ages, or  .
Who writes these problems? Isn't 16 too young to be a father? Isn't a 16 year-old having a kid, a kid having a kid?
Maybe it's because I never did, at that age!

His age is not twice as old as your age.
He might be twice as old as you, or
his age might be twice yours.
