Question: 3 years ago James turned 27. In 5 years Matt will be twice James age. How old is Matt now? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
James is now 27 + 3 = 30 years old. In 5 years James will be 30 + 5 = 35 years old. So in 5 years Matt will be 35 * 2 = 70 years old. That means Matt is now 70 - 5 = 65 years old. So the answer is 65.
