<U>My response</U>:  &nbsp;&nbsp;Perfect !  &nbsp;&nbsp;You are on the right track &nbsp;&nbsp;! &nbsp;!


Now turn on your mind &nbsp;&nbsp;!



You are in one step from the right solution &nbsp;&nbsp;! &nbsp;&nbsp;! &nbsp;&nbsp;!



Now you have 2 quantities: the dad's "corrected" age and the Jake's age;


The first quantity is  3 times the second and they sum up to 36.


What is your next step ?
