Question

our more than twice jason's age is the same as his age ten years from now. How old is jason now ?

Answer 1

Four more than twice jason's age is the same as his age ten years from now. How old is jason now ?

Jason = Jason

Left side and beginning of problem:

Four more than Jason's age is J+4. But then it says four more than twice Jason's age. So the left side is going to be: 2J+4 is (=) right side of problem: his age ten years from now. Whose age? Jason's age ten years from now is written, J +10, so our problem is shaping up to be:

2J+4=J+10

Answer 2

2j + 1 = j + 10

Can you solve for j and answer?
