Question 107723
My answers don't make sense, but I'll tell you what I got
Let M = my age in 2003
Let G = grandpa's age in 2003
{{{G = 11M}}} given
Nine years lat in 2012,
I am {{{M + 9}}} years old
My grandpa is {{{11M + 9}}} years old
also given, in 2012 grandpa's age is {{{3(M + 9)}}}
Therfore, {{{11M + 9 = 3(M + 9)}}}
{{{11M + 9 = 3M + 27}}}
{{{8M = 18}}}
{{{M = 2.25}}} or 2y 3m old in 2003
And grandpa's age in 2003 was
{{{G = 11M}}}
{{{G = 11*2.25}}}
{{{G = 24.75}}} or 24y 9m old in 2003
This is too young to be my grandpa. How old could he have been
when my father was born? If I made a mistake, I don't see it.
