NOW:
Ted --- x
Ellito -- 5x
Ten Years From Now:
Ted --- x+10
Elliot -- 5x+10
"Elliot will be at least 3 times as old as Sid will be then"
5x+10 = 3(x+10)
solve
Ted --- x
Ellito -- 5x
Ten Years From Now:
Ted --- x+10
Elliot -- 5x+10
"Elliot will be at least 3 times as old as Sid will be then"
5x+10 = 3(x+10)
