Question

After 14 years, Rahul will be three times as old ashe is now. determine his present age.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Consider the present age to be X years.

So the age 4 years before will be ( X-4) years.

The age after 14 years will be ( X+14 ) years.

According to the given question after 14 years the age will be 3 times the age which was 4 years back.

Now lets frame the equation,

( X +14 ) = 3 × ( X - 4 )

X + 14 =3X - (3 × 4)

X + 14 = 3X -12

14 +12 =3X -X

26 =2X

13=X

So the current age is 13 years.

Hope this helps !
