Question

after 32 years navin will be three times as old as he was 8 years ago find the present ago

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let

at present Navin age = x years

after 32 years navin's age = ( x + 32 ) years

navin's age 8 years ago = ( x - 8 ) years

according to the problem given,

x + 32 = 3 ( x - 8 )

x + 32 = 3x - 24

32 + 24 = 3x - x

56 = 2x

2x = 56

x = 56 / 2

x = 28

Therefore ,

at present navin's age = x = 28 years

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Present age of navin is 28years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

After 32 years navin will be three times as old as he was 8 years ago

To find

the present age

Solution

Let the present age be x.

Navin's age 32 years from now = (x+32)

Navin's age 8 years back =3(x-8)

According to the problem,

x+32=3(x-8)

x+32=3x-24

3x-x=32+24

2x=56

x=56/2

x=28

Therefore the present age of Navin is 28years
