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

the way you set up the equation is as follows:
Tim = x
Johnson = x+10

and that is the same as
Tim = x-3
Johnson = 2x

Answer 2

so now you do the equation as follows:

x + x + 10 = x - 3 + 2x solve for x

Answer 3

dont see it

Answer 4

do you know how to solve for x ??

Answer 5

notreally

Answer 6

ok, you have x + x + 10 = 2x + 10
then you have x + 2x -3 = 3x -3

Answer 7

ok

Answer 8

2x+10 = 3x-3, now combine like terms, when you switch you need to change signs as well so you have

10 + 3 = 3x - 2x

Answer 9

can you take it from there ??
