Pam is 14 and her dad is 37. In how many years will Pam's dad be twice as old as she will be ?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' be the years that need to pass so that Pam's dad be twice as old as she will be that is


in x years Pam will be 14 + x years old

in x years Pam's dad will be 37 + x years old


37 + x = 2(14 + x)


37 + x = 28 + 2x


x = 37 - 28


x = 9


in 9 years Pam's dad will be twice as old as she will be.
