Answer: Jason is 6 years old. Because “3 times as old as Jason” means that Jason is X and Omar is 3X or 3 times X .
And they both age together which means it is sum.
So 3X plus X = 24 which is 4X= 24
U need to divide by 4 and it leaves X to be 6 so the answer is Jason is 6 and Omar is 3 times 6 which is 18
To check answer: 18 plus 6 is equal to 24 which is the correct answer
