Okay, He is working on word problems and this one has us stumped. Western State College is 18 years older than Southern State. Western State is also 2 1/2 times as old as Southern. How old is each? Choices for Southern State's ages are: 12, 14, 18.
Anyone that could show me how to figure this out would be a savior! Thanks, Renee
