  1. Objective: to find the solution to an age word problem • Step 1: Read the problem • Step 2: Organize the information (set up a table) • Step 3: Set up an equation • Step 4: Solve the equation (get the variable by itself) • Step 5: Check your answer

  2. Age Word Problems A father is now 24 years older than his son. In 8 years, the father will be twice as old as his son will be then. Find their present ages. Equation: father = 2 son x+32 = 2(x+8)

  3. Age Word Problems A father is 3 times as old as his son. Fifteen years ago, the father was 9 times as old as his son was then. Find their present ages. Equation: father = 9 son 3x-15 = 9(x-15)
