Question 950658
when roger is 37 years old, he is 3 times as old as he is now.


let x = how old he is now.


the equation becomes:


3 * x = 37


divide both sides of this equation by 3 to get:


x = 37/3 which is equal to 12 and 1/3.


roger is 12 and 1/3 years old today.


3 * 12 and 1/3 is equal to 36 and 3/3 which is equal to 37.


when he is 37 years old, he is 3 times as old as 12 and 1/3.


he is 12 and 1/3 years old today.
