To find a, you need to isolate/get the variable "a" by itself in the equation:
Multiply the inverse of 1/2, which is 2, to get rid of the fraction
a - 7 = 66 Add 7 on both sides to get "a" by itself
a - 7 + 7 = 66 + 7
a = 73

Let m and j be the current ages of Matthew and Jenny, respectively.
Now, Matthew is 3 times as old as Jenny, so the variables are in the following relation:
In 7 years, both of them will be 7 years older, i.e. their ages will be m+7 and j+7, and Matthew will be twice as old:
Now, remembering that m=3j, we can rewrite the second equation as
So, Jenny is 7 and Matthew is 21 (he's 3 times older).
In fact, in 7 years, they will be 14 and 28, and Matthew will be twice as old.
