Question

2 years ago i was 3 times my brother's age in 3 years time i will be 2 time older than my brother word problem

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose two years ago my brother's age was x years

Then, my age was 3x

Three years from now, my brother's age will be (x +2+3) = (x+5) years

And my age will be (3x+2+3) = (3x+5) years

But it is given that i will be twice as old as my brother.

So, 2(x+5)= (3x+5)

or, x= 5 years

So my brother's present age is 5+2= 7 years

And my age is 5*3+2= 17 years

Answer 2

Let us suppose two years ago,your brother's age was x years.

Then,your age was 3x.

Three years from now,your brother's age will be (x+2+3)=(x+5) years.

And your age will be (3x+2+3)=(3x+5) years.

But it is given that you will be twice as old as your brother.

So,2(x+5)=(3x+5)

or x=5 years.

So your brother's present age is 5+2=7 years.

And your age is 5×3+2=17 years.
