<h3>The present age of Jackson is 25 years old</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let the present age of Jackson be "x"
Therefore
Jackson's age 7 years ago = x - 7
And, Jackson's age after 20 years = x + 20
From given question,
Jackson’s age was 2/5 of the age he will be 20 years from now 7 years ago

Thus present age of Jackson is 25 years old
Value of x = 19
(8x - 20) = (5x + 37)
3x = 57
x = 19
we can easily solve this one by splitting theiddle term
x2 - 9x -10
x2 -10x + x - 10
x(x - 10) 1( x - 10)
(x + 1) (x-10)
x = -1 or 10
