I can only use 1 variable to write and solve an equation for a word problem. The world problem is as follows: "Michelle is 8 years older than Adam. Three years ago Michelle was twice as old as Adam was then. How old is Michelle?" I am wondering what expression represents Michelle and which one represents Adam and what equation I would use to solve the problem (1 variable only!)
