Question

Currently, Sam's coach is twice as old as Sam. When Sam started soccer 10 years ago, his coach was four times his age. How old is Sam now?

Answer 1

help plez

Answer 2

let x = sam's age
since choach is twice as old as sam let him be 2x

10 years ago sam's age is x-10
coach's age is 2x - 10

When Sam started soccer 10 years ago, his coach was four times his age

so

2x - 10 = 4(x-10)

does that help?

Answer 3

simply solve for x
