One-third of Steven's age is 22 years less than his age 10 years ago. How old is Steven?
+363 Let Steven be x
\(\frac{1}{3}x+22=x-10\)
\(\frac{1}{3}x+12=x\)
\(\frac{2}{3}x=12\)
\(\frac{1}{3}x=6\)
\(x=18\)
Steven is \(\boxed{18}\) years old

+363 \(\frac{1}{3}x+22-22=x-10-22\)
\(\frac{1}{3}x=x-32\)
\(\frac{1}{3}x-x=x-32-x\)
\(-\frac{2}{3}x=-32\)
\(3\left(-\frac{2}{3}x\right)=3\left(-32\right)\)
\(-2x=-96\)
\(x=48\)
Again, I am so sorry guest! And @ melody I will be more careful
+118608 You made a boo boo.
It is just a careless error but you should have noticed that your answer does not make sense.

+118608 Hi Xxmathsguy,
Welcome to our Web2.0calc forum. I can see you have been busy here. I hope you are enjoying yourself. 
You do not need to appologise to the guest. Or to anyone for that matter.
Askers should always check the answers.
If they are too lazy or have so little knowledge that they can't then they are just copying and they should get it wrong.
If they are unsure then they should ask for further clarification.
