Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation ->

x+32=3x  

(you can get this easily by writing the equation down as you read the problem)

--> revisiting  x+32=3x

-x on both sides to isolate the number and put the like terms together

We are left with  32=2x

Divide 2 on both sides, and you will get x (his current age) --> x=16

Roger is currently 16 years old.
