Question

If Meenu’s present age is x years, what was her age in years, 10 years back?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

• x - 10 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• Meenu's present age is x years

To find

• Meenu's age 10 years back

Solution

We are given with Meenu's present age that is x and are asked to find her age 10 years back, that means we are asked to frame a linear equation.

The required equation will be:

• x - 10

Because if her age (suppose) is 20 years, then her age 10 years back (before, past) will be 20 - 10, that is 10 years, so the required equation will be x - 10 years.
