Answer:
7.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
present age = x
after 9 years = x+9
age before 2 years = x-2
(x-2)×3 = x+9
3x - 6 = x+9
3x-6-x= 9
3x-x = 9+6
2x = 9+6
2x = 15
x= 15/2
x= 7.5
therefore
present age = 7.5
age 2 years ago= 7.5 -2 = 5.5
age after 9 years = 7.5 + 9 = 16.5
verification
5.5 ×3 = 16.5
