Question

find the present age of Mamatha.If 4 times the present age is equal to the age after 24 years

Answer 1

Solution :

Let her present age be X

Given that "4 times her present age = age after 24 years"

this can be represented as 4X = X + 24

solving it,

3X = 24

X = 8

therefore her present age is 8 years

Answer 2

4x= 24+x
4x-x=24
3x=24
x=24/3
x=8
