in 1950 , richard was 4 times as old as robert . in 1955 , richard was 3 times as old as robert . in which year was richard 1.5 times as old as robert ?
"in 1950 : ri = 4 ro - - - - - - - - - - - - - - eq 1 in 1955 : ri + 5 = 3 ( ro + 5 ) - - - - - - - - - eq 2 thus in 1950 , solving eq 1 and eq 2 ro = 10 , ri = 40 now for each year we can calculate : 2000 : ri = 60 , ro = 90 thus ans : e"
add(1950, add(1.5, add(4, 3)))
