   rightwards double arrow space space space fraction numerator 3 straight x minus 10 over denominator 4 straight x minus 10 end fraction space equals space 4 over 7
   rightwards double arrow space space 21 straight x space minus space 70 space equals space 16 straight x space minus space 40
rightwards double arrow space space space 5 straight x space equals space 30
rightwards double arrow space space space straight x space equals space 6 space years
