Answer 2

Answer:

x=$\dfrac{y-5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider present age of Raju is x and present age of his father is y.

Since, according to question,Raju’s father’s age is 5 years more than three times Raju’s age. Hence,

=>  y = 3x+ 5

Since, we have to set up an equation to find Raju's age, so

x=$\dfrac{y-5}{3}$

Hence, the equation to find Raju's age is given by,

       x=$\dfrac{y-5}{3}$

But Raju's father present age = 44

so Raju's age,x=$\dfrac{44-5}{3}$

                       x=13

So, Raju's present age is 13 years.
