What is word problem in math?

A math word problem is a question that is written as one or more sentences and asks students to use their mathematical understanding to solve an issue from "real world."

According to the question:

  • John's dad is 30 years old than john .
  • In essence, x = y -30 .................equation 1

And

  • john were three times ad old as he is now.
  • y=3x

Solution for the above equation:

                                               [tex]x=y-30, y=3 x \quad\\ \quad x=15, y=45[/tex]

steps:

                                                [tex]x=y-30 \\y=3 x[/tex]

Substitute :[tex]$y=3 x$[/tex]

                                               [tex][x=3 x-30][/tex]

                                   [tex]for $x=3 x-30: \quad x=15[/tex]

For [tex]$y=3 x$[/tex]

Substitute: [tex]$x=15$[/tex]

                                               [tex]y=3 \cdot 15[/tex]

Simplify:

                                               [tex]y=45[/tex]

The solutions to the system of equations are: [tex]$x=15, y=45$[/tex]
