After 12 years , ajay will be three times as old as he was 4 years ago Find his present age​

Answer 1

Answer:

let his present age is x years

after 12 year he will be( x+12) years

4 years ago he was (x-4) years

so,

x+12=3(x-4)

=> x+12=3x-12

=> x-3x= -12-12

=> -2x= -24

=> x= -24/-2=12

=> x=12

his present age is 12 years

Answer 2

Answer:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his present age be x

and the question tells x+12=3(x-4)

or x+12=3x-4

so 2x= -12+ -12

= 2x=-24

x=12 years
