Ralph is 10 years younger than 3 times Rick's age. If Ralph is 53 years old, how old is Rick?
Let Rick's age =A
Ralph's age =3A - 10
53 =3A - 10
3A = 63
A =63 / 3 = 21 years - Rick's age.
+865 Ralph is 10 years younger than 3 times Rick's age. That means Rick is younger than Ralph.
Let's add Ralphs age by 10 to find out 3 * Rick's age: 53 + 10 = 63.
63 is 3 * Rick's age. Divide by 3 = Rick's age.
63 / 3 = 21.
Rick is 21 years old.
