Hi,
One-half of Leo's age two years from now 
plus one-third of her age three years ago 
is twenty-six years. (Using 25 years as the sum)
How old {{{highlight(x)}}} is he now?
Question states*** Write as we Read...
{{{ (1/2)(x+2) + (1/3)(x-3) = 25}}}   |Multiplying thru by 6 so as all denominators = 1  
       3(x+2) + 2(x-3) = 150
                5x =  150
                 x = 30yr
and...
    {{{ 15 + 10 = 25}}}
