please mark me as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Rahim is 18 years old today.

Let the present age of Rahim be = x yrs

Therefore,

Age of Rahim after 32 years will be = (x+32)

Age of Rahim 8 years ago was = (x-8)  

Thus, as per the question -

= x + 32 = 5 (x-8)

= x + 32 = 5x - 40

= x - 5x = - 40 -32

= -4x = -72

= x = 72/4

= x = 18 years

Thus, the present age of Rahim is 18 yrs

By the question

X+32=5(X-8)

X+32=5X-40

4X=72

:.X=18
