Building A was built 20 years before building B and 20 years after building C. In 10 years, building C will be 20 years younger than the combined ages of buildings A and B. What is the present age of each building? I started to set up the problem and solve it, but my solution doesn't make any sense. Buildings Now in 10 yrs. A x-20 (x-20)+10 B x x+10 C x+30 (x+30)+10 Building B [(x+30)+10]-20=(x-20)+10+x+10 x+ 20=2x -> x-x+20=2x-x x=20 <- Doesn’t Make Any Sense for B
