Question

After 3 years, Rahul will be 5 times as old as he was 9 years ago. Find his present

age.​

Answer 1

Let the age of Rahul be x in present

x+3 = 5(x-9)

x+3 = 5x -45

3+45 = 4x

x= 48/4

x= 12

The present age of Rahul is 12 years.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation: present age = x

equation - 3+x = 5(x-9)

3+x = 5x- 45

x-5x = -45-3

-4x = -48

x = -4/-48

x=12

Rahul is 12years currently
