Question

Colin: “When I add 6 times my age 6 years from now to 7 times my age 7 years from now, I get 14 times my current age.

How old will I be 5 years from now?

Answer 1

Colin's current age =
`x`

The sentence (likely) translates to the equation


`6(x+6)+7(x+7)=14x`

`\implies 6x+36+7x+49=14x`

`\implies x=85`

So 5 years from now, Colin will be 90 years old.
