Birthday 3043

Linda and her uncle Slavo have birthdays on the same day. A few years ago, Linda was 13, and her uncle was 45. How many years ago was it today that Uncle Slavo was three times older than Linda?

Correct answer:

x =  3

Step-by-step explanation:


(45+x) = 3(13+x)

(45+x) = 3·(13+x)

2x = 6


x = 6/2 = 3

x = 3
