Question 890602: fourteen years from now,Issa will be thrice her age six years ago. How old is Issa at present?
Answer by JulietG(1812)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! S + 14 = 3(S-6)
S + 14 = 3S - 18
Subtract S from each side
14 = 2S - 18
Add 18 to each side
32 = 2S
Divide each side by 2
16 = S
.
In 14 years, Issa will be 30, which is 3x 10, her age six years ago.
