Question 511902
Let x = number of years



you're adding x to each age to get



Pams age after x years: 14+x

Dad's age after x years: 37+x


Since the question is "In how many years will pans dad be twice as old as she will be?", this means that the equation is then



2(14+x)=37+x



Now solve for x



2(14+x)=37+x



28+2x=37+x



2x=37+x-28



2x-x=37-28



x=37-28



x=9



So the solution is x=9



This means that it will take 9 years.
