    If his age was 13 then it would add up to exactly 75, but to be greater it would be 14. I would put a note by the question if I were you.

    The youngest age Bobby's grandson can be is 16.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Use variables

    Bobby=B Grandson=G

    B=5 (G) - 3

    B+G is greater than 75

    2. Use trial and error

    If G is 15 ... 5 (15) - 3=72. This does not work

    If G is 16 ... 5 (16) - 3=77 This works

    So his grandson must be at least 16 years old.
