Five times seven and seven times three
Add to my age and it will be
As far above six nines and four
As twice my years exceeds a score!                 How old am I? Thank you.

Let x be your age.....and we have .....[5*7  +  7*3  +   x ]   =  [56  + x]        ....so.....

 

[56 + x]  −  6*9 +  4   =  2x   −  20      [a score = 20]

 

56 + x  −  58    =   2x   −  20

 

x  − 2  = 2x  −  20        rearrange

 

18 =  x  = your age

 

 

cool cool cool
