With some students I've tutored lately we've come across quite a bit of word problems that can be a headache to set up, so for all of you younger high school students here is a common medium-level of difficulty problem you might see in algebra class or on college entrance exams.
A father is three times as old as his son. After 15 years the father will be twice as old as his son’s age at that time. What is the present age of the father?
