+129850 shannon is three times my age.the sum of our ages is the same as six times my age two years ago. Let my age now be x.how old am I.
Let Shannon's age = 3x
And we have
x + 3x = 6(x - 2) simplify
4x = 6x - 12 add 12 to both sides, subtract 4x from each side
12 = 2x divide both sides by 2
6 = x you are 6, Shannon is 18 ........the sum of your ages = 24 ......and this is 6 times your age two years ago = 4
