Question

8 years from now Babar will be twice the age he was 6 years ago. What is
his present age?
B. 12
C. 26
D. 4
A, 20​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here,

Let his present age be x.

Now, 8 years from now his age will be = x+8.

And, 6 years before his age =x-6

Now, 2(x-6)=x+8

=) 2x-12=x+8

=) x=20

Hence, his present age = 20 years.

Hope u understand have a nice day.

Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

let the present age be x

eight years from now =8+ x

twice the age he was six years ago=2(x-6)

so the equation is

8+x=2(x-6)

8+x=2x-12

exponents one side and variables one side and change the sign when changing the side

8+12=2x-x

20=x

therefore the present age of Babar is 20 years
