AFTER 32years NAVIN AGE = (x+32) years

ACCORDING TO THE QUESTION

x+32 = 3(x-8)
x+32 = 3x-24
32+24 = 3x-x
56 = 2x
56/2 = x

step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age of Navin be 'x' years.

therefore,

His age after 32 yrs = (x+32) years

and,

His age 8 yrs ago = (x-8) years

Now,

A.T.Q

after 32 years Navin will be three times as old as he was 8 years ago

Therefore,

we get,

=> x + 32 = 3(x-8)

=> x + 32 = 3x - 24

=> 3x - x = 32 + 24

=> 2x = 56

On cross multiplication,

we get,

=> x = 56/2

=> x = 28

Hence,

present age of Navin = 28 years
