Problema Solution

A man is 42 years old and his son is 12 year old.In how many years will the age of the son be half of the man at that time ?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let the amount of years be Y


Then: 42 + Y = 2(12 + Y)



 

42 + Y = 24 + 2Y


42 - 24 = Y


Y, or amount of years it'll take for the man to be twice his son's age =18
