<PRE><B>Question 1205831</B>
let p = the age of pamela.
let x = the age of her grandson.


the formula is p = 4x - 2
when p = 58, the formula becomes 58 = 4x - 2
add 2 to both sides of the eqution to get 60 = 4x
solve for x to get x = 15


the age of her grandson is 15.


her age is 4 * 15 - 2 = 60 - 2 = 58.
this confirms the age of her grandson is correct.
