Answer:

After 16 years Mr. Jibril will be twice as old as his son.

Explanation:

t - age Mr. Jibril

s - son age

t=4s (father is 4 times older than son)

t-4=7(s-4) (4 years ago they both have 4 year old less and father was 7 times older than son)

t=7s-28+4

t=7s-24

7s-24=4s

3s=24

s=8

t=32

x- years after Mr. Jibril will be twice as old as his son.

32+x=2(8+x)

32+x=16+2x

16=x

x=16
