You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a = your present age
:
When I add 3 times my age 3 years from now to 4 times my age 4 years from now, I get 8 times my current age.
3(a+3) + 4(a+4) = 8a
3a + 9 + 4a + 16 = 8a
7a + 25 = 8a
25 = 8a - 7a
a = 25 yrs is your present age
:
How old will I be 2 years from now? You can figure that out.
