Answer:

72

Explanation:

Let m be the age in years. If s is the son's age in years, then the son is 52x weeks old. If g is the grandson's age in years, then the will be grandson 365m days old. So.... the labels are for the equation.

365m = 52x.

Since the grandson is 12w months old,

12w = months.

Since the grandson, son and the person together are 120 years,

m + x + months = 120.

these are the labels (m, x, and month)

month = 624 x 120 / 1041 = 72.

So, I am basically 72 years old.

hope this helped :D

this is truly very hard.
