Translating this word problem into an algebraic equation, we get:
3x - 2/5 = 8/5.
Let's combine the constants: adding 2/5 to both sides of this equation yields
3x = 10/5, or 3x = 2.
Solving for x: x = 2/3
The answer to 17892•36 is 644,112
Let’s make an equation
Let’s say x = amount of years after
Smith = 8, mother = 42
3(8 + x) = 42 + x
24 + 3x = 42 + x
2x = 18, x = 9
Solution: after 9 years
