Answer 2

Answer:

11 yrs from now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Now:

Mr Cook's age=34 yrs.

(His son is 22 yrs younger than Mr. Cook.)

So,

Son's age=(34-22)=12yrs.

After x years:

Mr. Cook's age=(34+x) yrs.

Son's age=(12+x)yrs.

[Mr. Cook's age equals 24 yrs. less than 3×(Son's age)]

34+x = 3×(12+x) - 24

34 = 36 + 3x -24 -x

34 = 3x-x + 36-24

34 = 2x + 12

34-12= 2x

22 = 2x

22÷2= x

x=11yrs.
