Let's say Diana is "x" years old today.
in 3 years, she's going to be " x + 3 " years old.
33 years ago, she was " x - 33 " old.
how much is 4 times that anyway? well 4(x-33), that's 4 times as 33 years ago her age.
now, we know in 3 years, x+3, she'll be "<span>4 times as old as she was 33 years ago", 4(x-33), therefore, those amounts are equal then,
</span>
<span>
why is it most logical to use "x" for her age today?
well, because 3 years from now is just x + 3
and
33 years ago is x - 33, 4 times that is 4( x - 33 ).
works very well as a point of reference.</span>
