Step-by-step explanation:

Let your age be x

Age after 8 years, x+8

Age 4 years ago, x-4

now,

x+8 = 3*(x-4)

x + 8 = 3x - 12

2x = 20

x = 10 years

Answer 2

After 14 years, I would be of 24 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Let my present age be $'x'$years
• Eight years hence, my age would be $(x+8)$
• Four years ago, my age would be $(x-4)$

Now, the given data says

$(x+8) = 3\times (x-4)$

Solving for x

$x+8 = 3x - 12$

$x-3x = -12 -8$

$-2x = -20$

$x = 10$

• My present age is 10 years.
• Hence, after 14 years I would be of 24 years of age.
