Step-by-step explanation:
mohammedimran80:
i need the explanation
if Edwin is 1x now his father would be 3x right now. 5 years ago edwin's father would be 3x - 5. 5 years ago edwin's father would also be 4(x-5) so I came up with the algebraic sum 3x - 5 = 4(x-5)
Then when we calculate and simplify it the sum turns into 15 = x so edwin is 15.
ok thanks
