You can put this solution on YOUR website! If I have the ages 14, 38, and 44. Write an equation that models,
how old in years each of you will be, when your ages add up to 150 yrs.
:
Let y = no. of yrs for this to be true
(14+y) + (38+y) + (44+y) = 150
combine like terms
3y + 96 = 150
3y = 150 - 96
3y = 54
y = 54/3
y = 18 yrs from now
Add 18 yrs to each and you will have it
