Answer 3

john's present age is at least three times as great as his age 10 years ago. Find the greatest possible age of john at present

Answer 4

A.
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

Answer 5

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
