Seven years ago, Grogg's dad was $9$ times as old as Grogg. Four years ago, Grogg's dad was $6$ times as old as Grogg. How old is Grogg's dad currently?

Let D be the age of Grogg's dad now

Let G ve the age of Grogg seven tears ago

 

Seven  years ago

(D - 7) = 9G   →   D - 9G  =  7      (1)

Four years ago  (Greg's age =  G + 3 )...so....

(D - 4)  = 6(G + 3)  →  D - 4  = 6G + 18  →  D - 6G  = 22    (2)

 

Subtract    (1) from (2)

 

3G  =  15

G = 5

 

D = 9G + 7

D = 9(5) + 7  =   52
