Question 485425
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the number of years between now and the time the grandfather is three times as old as the granddaughter.


Then


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3(12\ +\ x)\ =\ 60\ +\ x]


In plain English: Three times the age the grandaughter will be *[tex \Large x] years from now is the same as the age the grandfather will be *[tex \Large x] years from now.
