Question 1012295

Albert's father is 24 years old than Albert is. In 8 years, his father will be twice as old as Albert. How old is Albert now? How old is his father?
<pre>Let father's current age, be F
Then Albert's is: F - 24
We then get: F + 8 = 2(F - 24 + 8)
F + 8 = 2(F - 16)
F + 8 = 2F - 32
F - 2F = - 32 - 8
- F = - 40
F, or father's current age = {{{(- 40)/(- 1)}}}, or {{{highlight_green(40)}}}
