Solving Linear Equations - Age Problems

Linear Equations - Age ProblemsObjective: Solve age Problems by creating and Solving a Linear application of Linear Equations is what are called age Problems . When we aresolving age Problems we generally will be comparing the age of two people bothnow and in the future (or past). Using the clues given in the problem we will beworking to find their current age. There can be a lot of information in these prob-lems and we can easily get lost in all the information. To helpus organize andsolve our problem we will fill out a three by three table for each problem . Anexample of the basic structure of the table is belowAge NowChangePerson 1 Person 2 Table of Age TableNormally where we see Person 1 and Person 2 we will use thename of theperson we are talking about. We will use this table to set up the is 20 years younger than Brian. In two years Brian will betwice as old asAdam. How old are they now?

Solving age problems can be summarized in the following five steps. These five steps are guidelines to help organize the problem we are trying to solve. 1. Fill in the now column. The person we know nothing about is x. 2. Fill in the future/past collumn by adding/subtracting the change to the now column. 3.
