Question 1148957
<br>
Using logical reasoning instead of formal algebra....<br>
The difference between "in four years" and "three years ago" is 7 years.<br>
If that difference is 7 years, and the age of the car in 4 years is 2 times its age 3 years ago, then the car's ages 4 years from now and 3 years ago have to be 14 and 7.<br>
So the current age of the car is 14-4=10 years (or 7+3=10 years).<br>
