Answer:
12 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = your current age
Translate:
"after 12 years i shall be 3 times as old i was 4 years ago"
(x+12) = 3 * (x-4)
Solution :
x+12 = 3(x-4)
x + 12 = 3x - 12 [distribute]
12 = 2x - 12 [subtract x from both sides]
24 = 2x [add 12 to both sides]
12 = x [divide both sides by 2]
Your current age is 12.
Check:
Is (12+12) = 3(12-4)
24 = 3(8)
24 = 24
