Question

12. After 12 years, I shall be 3 times as old as I was 4 years ago. Find my present
age.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose,

your present age = x,

12 years after your age will be = x + 12,

4 years ago your age was = x - 4.

According to the question,

x + 12 = 3(x - 4)

or, x +12 = 3x - 12

or, 12 + 12 = 3x - x

or, 24 = 2x

or, 2x = 24

or, 2x÷2 = 24÷2 [ both sides divided by 2]

x= 12

your present age is 12 years old.

Answer: 12 years
