amamda is 12 years old. she is 2/7 times as old as her father. how many years ago was her father 4 times as old as amanda?

Answer 1

12 = (2/7)f
so f = (7/2)12 = 42

42 - x = 4(12 -x)

42 - x = 48 - 4 x

3 x = 6

x = 2 years ago
-----------------
check
that was when Amanda = 10 and father = 40
good, that works :)
