Question

How old is Ram, If 500 reduced by 3 times his age is 266?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\underline{\Huge{\texttt{78 years old}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by making an equation to represent this.

500 - 3a = 266

Reduced by is the same as subtracting, and a represents age.

Subtract 500 from both sides.

-3a = -234

Divide each side by -3.

a = 78

Check.

500 - 3(78) = 266

500 - 234 = 266

266 = 266

Ram is 78 years old.

Answer 2

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER

500-3x=266

-3x =266-500

-3x=-234

x=-234/3

x=78

THEREFORE RAM'S AGE IS 78 YRS.
