Question

After 14 years i shall be 5 times as old as i was 6 years ago find present age

Answer 1

let,

present age be x

The age after 14 years=x+14

And the 6 years ago age =x-6

Given

the age after 14 years =5(x-6)

By problem

x+14=5(x-6)

x+14=5x-30

x-5x=-30-14

-4x=-44(-,-canceled)

4x=44

x=44÷4

x=11

Therefore the present agein 11years

Answer 2

$\mathfrak{\huge{Answer:}}$

$\sf{Let\:the\:present\:age\:be}$ = x

After 14 years, the age of the person will be = x + 14

The age of the person 6 years ago will be = x - 6

Now, if we solve according to your question, the equation formed after observing the conditions given in the the question will be :

x + 14 = 5 ( x - 6 )

Solve this formed equation further

=》 4x = 44

Last one step to go

=》 x = 11

This is the answer. $\huge{\tt{11\:years}}$
