Currently, I am 9 times as old as my son. Next year, I will be 7 times as old as my son. How old is my son now?

Your son is 3 years old now

Explanation:

If you do 9 times 3, you would get 27, and when you do 4 times 7, you would get 28. So, it makes sense since you get 1 year older and you are 9 times as old and then you will be 7 times as old. So, right now, your son is 3 years old.
