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

<h2>
Forming Equations from Word Problems</h2>
To form equations from word problems, we can derive mathematical operations as well as variables from the given information.
In this case, each time Walker reads a certain number of pages, we subtract that from the total number of pages left to know how many pages is left to read.
<h2>Solving the Question</h2>
<em>Let r represent the pages left to read.</em>
<em />
792 pages in total
Walker reads 15 pages a day during the week and 25 pages a day during the weekend.
- There are 5 weekdays, and he reads 15 pages each of those days. ⇒ <em>r</em> = 792 - 5×15
- There are 2 weekend days, and he reads 25 pages each of those days.
⇒ <em>r</em> = 792 - (5×15 + 2×25)
5 weeks have passed
- Multiply the terms representing the number of pages he reads a week by 5, for 5 weeks.
⇒ <em>r</em> = 792 - (5×15 + 2×25)×5
<h2>Answer</h2>
<em>r</em> = 792 - (5×15 + 2×25)×5
Answer: 90 U.S. dollars
