Question 1188905: My father is 12 years more than twice my age. In 16 years, my father’s age will be 30 years less than three times my age. Find my age and my father’s age. Answer by VFBundy(438) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your age = x
Father's age = 2x + 12
3(x + 16) = (2x + 12 + 16) + 30
3x + 48 = 2x + 58
x = 10
Your age = x = 10
Father's age = 2x + 12 = 2(10) + 12 = 32
