Agyapong Is Three Time As Old As Musah.Three Years Ago,he Was Four Times As Old As Musah.How Old Is Each Boy Now?
A=3M
A-3=4(M-3)
3M-3=4M-12
M=9
A=27
Am still confused because of using A and M together before solving
A = 3M
A - 3 = 4 (M - 3) = 4M - 12
3M = 4M - 9
3x-3=(x-3)4
3x-3=4x-12
3x-4x=-12+3
-x=-9
X=9
Musah=9 Agyapong=27.
Right?
The way you answered me I am confused
I don't see any grouping of listens anymore

Awo is 3timesold as Musa 3years. Awo is 4times as old as the Musa. How old is Awo now.
A=3m
A-3=4(m-3)
3m-3=4m-12
3m-4m=-12+3
-1m/-1=-9/-1
M=9
Let's use the variable A for Awo's current age, and M for Musa's current age.
From the first sentence, we can write:
A = 3(M+3)
(We add 3 to Musa's age because the first sentence says Awo is 3 years older than Musa.)
From the second sentence, we can write:
A = 4M
Now we can use substitution to solve for A:
4M = 3(M+3)
4M = 3M + 9
M = 9
So Musa is currently 9 years old.
We can use either of the equations we wrote earlier to find Awo's age:
A = 4M = 4(9) = 36
So Awo is currently 36 years old.
Therefore, Awo is 36 years old.
