Question

After 16 years, Leena will be three times as old as she is now. Find her present age.​

Answer 1

x +16 =3x

16=2x

X=8

Lena's age is 8 years

Answer 2

Let her present age be x years

After 16 years:

Leena's age = (x + 16) years

According to question:

x + 16 = 3x

3x - x = 16

2x = 16

Therefore x = 8

Thus, Leena's age is 8 years.

Hope this helps.
