Read Solution (Total 5)

let greg is x yrs
than pol is x-10
in 7 yrs
greg is x+7 yrs
than pol is x-10+7=x-3 yrs
pol will be 10 years more than one half as old as Greg
so x-3=10+1/2(x+7)
or 2(x-3)=20+x+7
or 2x-6=27+x
or x=27+6=33
so greg is 33 yrs
& pol is 23 yrs

GRAY= X,POLE= X-10,
IN 7
X-10+7=(X+7)/2=10,
X=23

X be age of Greg
X-10 be age of Pol
In 7 yrs,x+7 be age of Greg

2x-6=27+X
X=33(Greg)
X-3=30(Pol)
