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.

Represent the number by n. The equation is 5n - 1 = 3n +5, and the solution is n = 3.
4x2 - x = 3
Well, you may do the equation 5x=10 and x would equal 2. Two times Five equals ten/ It is called an algerbraic expression.

3x + 8
Assuming the equation is 3x=15, you just need to divide each side of the equation by three. On the left, x times three divided by three is one times x, or just x. On the right side, fifteen divided by three is five. So you are left with x=5.

It is an equation in the form of: 3x+5 = 20 and the value of x works out as 5

Represent the number by n. The equation is 5n - 1 = 3n +5, and the solution is n = 3.
Three times a number is 10 less five times the number can be put in the form of an equation that looks like this: 3x = 5x-10. Now just solve for x...
