Question

After 12 years manish will be 3 times as old as he was 4 years ago . find his present age .

Answer 1

Expert Answer:

Let the present age of Manoj be x

Age after 12 years = x + 12

Age 4 years ago = x - 4

As per the given condition

x + 12 = 3(x - 4)

x + 12 = 3x - 12

-2x = -12 - 12

-2x = -24

x = 12
