You know that at age 12, Dad was 3 times as old as George. So Dad was 36 at that time. At the present time, his Dad will only be twice as old as him. We need to figure out how many years have elapsed since George was 12 to the present time. We'll call that time X. So we have the following:
George's age now: 12+X
Dad's age now: 36+X
Since the dad's age now is twice that of George's we can set up an equation to solve for X & determine how old they are now:
36+X = 2*(12+X)
36+X = 24 + 2X
36 -24 + X= 24 -24 + 2X
12 +X = 2X
12 + X - X = 2X - X
X = 12
So George's age now is 12 + 12 or 24. And his dad's age now is 36 + 12 or 48. And as you can see Dad is twice as old as George.

A father is 32 years old His son is 4 In how many years will the father be three times as old as his son What is the algerbraic equation for that?
The father is always 28 years older than his son so the equation can be written: (1) father = son + 28 at all times after birth at some point father is three times older than son so: (2) father = 3son So we can combine (1) and (2) equations as: 3son = son + 28 2son = 28 son = 14 so when the son is 14 the father is 28 years older which is 42 and 3 times older than 14.
