Question

In 1984, Ike was 24 years old and his father 45 years. In what year was Ike exactly half his father's age?

Answer 1

Why is it no viewer?

Answer 2

let the number of years be x
24 + x = (1/2)(45 + x)
48 + 2x = 45 + x
x = -3
I interpret that as 3 years <b>before</b> 1984 or in 1981

check: at that point Ike was 21 and his dad was 42, so he was
1/2 of his dad's age
