The answer is...
Let x=your present age
Four years ago, your age was x-4
After 12 years, your age will be x+12
So our equation to solve is:
x+12=3(x-4)
x+12=3x-12 add 12 to and subtract x from each side
12+12=3x-x
2x=24
x=12----your present age
Hope this helps.....

Let the present age be " x years ".
By the given condition
x + 12 = 3 ( x - 4 )
=> x + 12 = 3x - 12
=> 3x - x = 12 + 12
=> 2x = 24
=> x = 12
So the present age is 12 years .
