Ten years from now, Orlando will be three times older than he is today. What is his current age?
Question
Answer:
So we need to find the age that these two equations are equal to. (X is his current age) x*3=? and x+10=? These two equations MUST be equal. But because it is 3 times older, the equation will look like this: x + 10 = 4x (you have to add in the current age he is)So if we just start solving:
x + 10 = 4x
10 = 3x
x = 10/3 or approximately 3.33
