Kendrick is 1 year older than 3 times his daughter's age. In 4 years, he will be 7 years less than 3 times as old as his daughter will be.  Find their ages.

Let Kendrick's age be x and his daughter's age be y. We can use the information in the problem to write a system of equations.

 

x = 3y + 1

x + 4 = 3(y + 4) - 7

 

x = 3y + 1

x = 3y + 1

 

This equation has infinite solutions, so any ordered pair (x, y) would solve this problem.
