Simon says "five time my age 4 years ago is the same as three time my age in 2 years" how old is simon

Simon is 13 years old

Let x be Simon's age

Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)

Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)

distributing both sides gives

5x-20 = 3x + 6

subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

5x - 3x - 20 = 6

2x - 20 = 6

add 20 to both sides

2x = 6 + 20 = 26

divide both sides by 2

x = = 13

Simon is 13 years old
