Question

Anu is six years older than Sunil, 8 years ago, Anu was three times Sunil's age . find the present age of Anu.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Anu is four year older than sunil

If sunil's age = x

anu's age = x+4

Anu was 3 times sunil's age 8 yeas ago

(x+4) - 8 = 3(x-8)

⇒ x - 4 = 3x - 24

⇒ x - 3x = -24 + 4

⇒ -2x = -20

⇒ x = -20/-2 = 10

Sunil's age = 10years

Anu's age = 10+4 = 14years

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer :

• The age of sunil is x = 11 years
• Anu's age is = x + 6 = 9 + 6 = 15 years

Given :

• Anu is 6 years older than sunil , 8 years ago,and was three times sunil's age

To find :

• Present age of anu

Solution :

• Let the age of sunil be x years
• Anu's age will be x+6

8 years ago,

• sunil's age is (x - 8)years
• anu's age is (x + 8) + 6 years

According To Question Given that ,

• Anu was 3 times sunil's age so ,

⇢ 3(x - 8)

⇢ x - 8 + 6 = 3(x - 8)

⇢ x - 2 = 3x - 24

⇢ x - 3x = - 24 + 2

⇢ -2x = - 22

⇢ x = -22/-2

⇢ x = 11

• The age of sunil is x = 11 years
• Anu's age is = x + 6 = 11 + 6 = 16 years
