======================================================================
The sum of the ages of Jimmy and his grandfather is 66. Three years later, the grandfather will be 8 times that of Jimmy. How old is each of them?
======================================================================

66-j, grandfather
j, Jimmy

%2866-j%29%2B3=8%28j%2B3%29

69-j=8j%2B24
