Four times greg's age, decreased by 3 is equal to 3 times greg's age, increased by 7. how old is greg? not multiple choice

Ok. So what I did was I chose a number that would be easy to manipulate  The number I chose was 10, I then multiplied it by 4 to get 40, then subtracted 3 to get 37 - that was the first part of the question. The second part wanted me to take the same number, multiply it by 3 and then add 7. So 10 multiplied by 3 is of course 30 and then you just add 7 to get 37. Hey look! Its a match! I hope this helps.

P.S. - If you think I did a good job I would love it if you went to my YouTube channel to see if I can help you more there. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG0zQcSsxZ2mu-OnZRdI2-Q . I hope to see you there!
