1. John is now 45 years old.
45 (John) ---- 50 X 3 = 150
35 (Marcus) ---- 30 X 5 = 150

J=10 + M
3J +5=5M-5
3(10+M)+5=5M-5
30+3M+5=5M-5
2M=40
M=20
J=10+M=30
J=10 + M
3J +5=5M-5
3(10+M)+5=5M-5
30+3M+5=5M-5
2M=40
M=20
J=10+M=30

J=10+m
3J+5=5m–5
3(10+m)=5m–10
30+3m=5m–10
2m=40
M=20
And J=10+m
10+30
J=40
3J+5=5m–5
3(10+m)=5m–10
30+3m=5m–10
2m=40
M=20
And J=10+m
10+30
J=40
