Long Piece: x + 18

Short Piece: x

Long Piece: x + 18  = (33) + 18   = 51

In a​ film, a character is criticized for marrying a woman when he is three times her age. He wittily​ replies, "Ah, but in 25ye
Sonbull [250]

Answer:age of the man: 75 age of the woman:25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, We need to define the variables

x: age of the man

y: age of the woman

at the first time he has three times her age

x=3y                (1)

in 25 years time

(x+25)=2(y+25)                 (2)

we clear the equation

X+25=2y+50

X=2y+25

we substitute in the (1) equation:

2y+25=3y

y=25

x=3*25=75
