Question 476263: If samantha were three times as old as she was five years ago, she will be sixty less than six times her current age. How old is Samantha? Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let x = her current age.
Then 3(x-5) = 6x - 60
==> 3x - 15 = 6x - 60
==> 45 = 3x
==> x = 15, Samantha's current age.
