Question: In 7 years, Kaylee will be 3 times as old as Matt is now. If Matt is currently 5 years old, how old is Kaylee now? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
In 7 years, Kaylee will be 5 * 3 = 15 years old. Let x be the age Kaylee is now. After 7 years, Kaylle will be 15 years old, so x + 7 = 15. x = 15 - 7. x = 8 years old. So the answer is 8.
