We want a in terms of b and c: <span>3a+4b=c
Isolate 3a on the left side: 3a = c - 4b
Divide all terms by 3:
a = c/3 - 4b/3 (answer)</span>
Let Ted be x.
Ed is 7 years older = x + 7
Ed = (3/4)Ted
(x + 7) = (3/4)x
x + 7 = 3x/4
x - 3x/4 = -7
x/4 = -7
x = -28, Ted = -28 years.
(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21, Ed = -21 years
