Question

Coach Johnson is 10 years older than Tim. When Tim started football 3 years ago, Coach Johnson was twice his age. How old is Tim now?

Numerical Answers Expected!

Answer 1

Let coach Johnson's age be x and Tim's be y

Then currently, \[x=y+10\]
When Tim started football
\[(x-3)=2(y-3)\]
\[x=2y-3\]

Solving the equations, we get

\[y=13\text{ and }x=23\]
