tonnes of copper, and tons iron?
Exercise 10
The age of a father is twice the sum of the ages of his two sons. Some years ago (exactly the difference of the current ages of children), the father's age was three times the sum of the ages of his sons. After some years (the amount that is equal to the sum of the current age of the children), the sum of the ages of all three will be 
years. How old was the father when his sons were born?
Exercise 11
Three types of grain are sold by a farmer: wheat, barley, and millet.

- The first of grams of gold,
grams of silver, and 
grams of copper. - The second of grams of gold, grams of silver, and
grams of copper. - The third of grams of gold, grams of silver, and
grams of copper.
What weight will be taken from each of the previous ingots to form a new ingot of 
grams of gold, 
grams of silver, and 
grams of copper?
Solution of exercise 1
John purchased a computer and a TV for dollars and later sold both items for dollars.
How much did each item cost, knowing that John sold the computer for % more than the purchase price, and the TV for % more?
x price of the computer.
y price of the TV.

Solution of exercise 10
The age of a father is twice the sum of the ages of his two sons. Some years ago (exactly the difference of the current ages of children), the father's age was three times the sum of the ages of his sons. After some years (the amount that is equal to the sum of the current age of the children), the sum of the ages of all three will be years. How old was the father when his sons were born?
x = Current age of the father.
y = Current age of the eldest son.
z = Current Age of youngest son.
Current Relationship: 
It y - z years 
Within y + z: 
At birth, children, the father was 35 and 40, respectively.
Solution of exercise 11
Three types of grain are sold by a farmer: wheat, barley, and millet.
Each portion of wheat sells for dollars, the barley for dollars, and the millet for dollars.
If he sells portions in total and receives dollars from the sale, how many portions are sold of each type?
x = volume of wheat.
y = Volume of barley.
z = Volume of millet.
Considering that the three variables are natural numbers, and that their sum is 100, the following solutions are obtained:
