Joe is now 26 years older than Ella. If in 12 years Joe will be three times as old as Ella, how old will Joe be in 6 years? Choose the correct choice from the following choices
A) 31
B) 33
C) 35
D) 37
E) 39
J=E+26 so E=J-26.   J+12=3(E+12).   J+12=3(J-26+12).   J+12=3J-42.   2J=54.   J=27.   In 6 years, Joe will be 33 years old.   The answer is 33.
