~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Let x be the grandson age in 2 years (two years later).

Then Mr.Hermander's age at that time is 7x, and 7x is 54 more than x,

so we have this equation


    7x - x = 54,

or

     6x = 54,  x = 54/6 = 9.


So, in 2 years, grandson will be 9 years old --- hence, now he is 7 years old.


It gives the


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The grandson is 7 years old;  Mr. Hernandez is 7 + 54 = 61 years old.

Solved.
