If 12 years are added to 2/3 age of Hyder, he will be three years older than today. What is Hyder's present age?
Answer: 27
Explanation
Let's denote Hyder's present age as x.
According to the problem:
(2/3)x + 12 = x + 3
Let's solve for x:
(2/3)x + 12 = x + 3
(2/3)x - x = 3 - 12
-(1/3)x = -9
x = 27
