Use the three steps to solve the problem. Joe is 10 years older than James. In 8 years, twice Joe's age will equal three times James's age. How old is each now? {James is 78 a0yrs., Joe is 88 a1yrs.}
Accepted Solution
A:
x+8: James' age in 8 years x+10+8: Joe's age in 8 years 2(x+10+8)=3(x+8) 2x+36=3x+24 x=12 James=12 years old Joe=22 years old
