Question 1200682
<pre>

Ron is 2 less than thrice the age of Carl. 5 years ago, Ron <s>is</s> WAS 12 times of Carl diminished by 1. What <s>is</s> WAS Carl's age 5 years ago?

He's WRONG!! When will he learn that INTEGERS should represent age? 
THIS: {{{c=7&1/3}}}---------MAYBE. AND THIS: and then five years ago, Carl be {{{2&1/3}}}------MAYBE, ARE RUBBISH, so {{{cross(c=7&1/3)}}}---------MAYBE.
and then five years ago, Carl be {{{cross(2&1/3)}}}------MAYBE 

Carl is now 6 years-old, so obviously, 5 years ago, he was 6 - 5.</pre>
