Answer:
here you go
Step-by-step explanation:
let Shilpa's age be x + 3 because there years ago it was x.
Arpita's age is thrice Shilpas age, so arpitas age is 3 × ( x + 3)
so let the equation be,
3× (x +3) = x + 3
3x + 9 = x + 3
9 - 3 = x - 3x
6 = -2x
-2x = 6
x = 6/-2
x = -3
shilpa's age is x +3, which is -3 + 3 = 0 ( which means she is just born)
whereas arpitas age is three time shilpas age. so arpitas age is 0 + 3 =3
so Arpita is three years.
