    Let's say Jackson's age now is x.

    In 20 years, (so 20+x), Jackson seven years ago will be 2/5ths of that age.

    So 2/5 (20+x) = x-7

    Then you solve the equation

    8+2/5x=x-7

    15=3/5x

    x=25

    Jackson is 25 years old.

    Let's check our answer! In 20 years, Jackson will be 45. 7 years ago, he was 18. 2/5 of 45 is 18. Our answer is correct!
