Question

12. Fifteen years from now Ravi's age will be four times his present age. What is Ravi's
present age?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Present age of Ravi (x) = 5 years

Step-by-step explanation:

At present:

Age of Ravi = x years

After 15 years:

Age of Ravi = (x+15) years

According to the problem given,

"Fifteen years from now Ravi's age will be 4 times his present age."

4x = x + 15

=> 4x-x = 15

=> 3x = 15

Divide each term by 3, we get

=> x = 5

Therefore,

Present age of Ravi (x) = 5 years
