Fathers and Sons (Posted on 2003-06-11) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Father A is twice the age of the difference in years of the ages of Father B and Son A, who is one and a half times older than Son B.

Father B is currently twice the age of Son A is going to be when Son B will be double the age he is now.

All of the ages are multiples of five.

How old is Father A?

The sentence 'father b is....' basically means that when Son B is double the age that he currently is, Father B will be twice the age of Son A.

This means that FB = 2(SA + SB).
