Question

2. Raju’s father’s age is 5 years more than three times Raju’s age. Find Raju’s age, if his father is 44

years old.

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Raju's age is 13 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Raju's father is 44 years old, then Raju's age is equal to (44 - 5) ÷ 3

(44 - 5) ÷ 3

= 39 ÷ 3

= 13 years old

Therefore, Raju is 13 years old.

Answer 2

ɢɪᴠᴇɴ:

• Raju's father age is 5 years more than three times Raju's age

• Raju's father age is 44

ᴛᴏ ғɪɴᴅ:

Raju's present age

sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ:

let Raju's present age be "x" years

➙it is given that,

⊱ Raju's father age = 5 years more than three times Raju's age

⊱ Raju's father age = 5 + 3x

ᴀʟsᴏ,

Raju's father age = 44 years

sᴏ,

$\implies\sf{ \: 5 + 3x = 44}$

$\implies \sf{\: 3x = 44 - 5}$

$\implies \sf{\: 3x = 39}$

$\implies \sf{\: x = \frac{39}{3} }$

$\implies\sf{ \: x = 13}$

ʜᴇɴᴄᴇ:

Raju's present age is $\tt\underline\red{13\:years}$
