Age Problem: Grandfather and Grandson
Current Ages
A grandfather is currently 56 years old, while his grandson is 14 years old.
Objective
The goal is to determine after how many years the grandfather will be twice as old as his grandson.
Setting Up the Equation
Let X represent the number of years we are looking for. The equation can be established as follows:
56 + X = 2(14 + X)
Solving for X
By solving the equation, we find:
X = 28
Conclusion
After 28 years, the grandfather will be twice as old as his grandson.
