Let Fatima's current age be x
Then 16 years from now her age is= x+16
According to question
x+16=3x
=> 16=3x-x
=> 16=2x
=> 16/2=x
x=8
Therefore Fatima's current age is 8 years
Then 16 years from now her age is= x+16
According to question
x+16=3x
=> 16=3x-x
=> 16=2x
=> 16/2=x
x=8
Therefore Fatima's current age is 8 years

Current age of Fatima = x
Her age after 16 years = 16 + x = 3 x
So we proceed as follows,
16+ x = 3 x
16 = 3x - x
16 = 2x
16 / 2 = x
8 = x
Answer : Her present age is 8 years .
