Answer 1

Answer:

Rajiv's present age is 14 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Rajiv adds his present age to three times his age 4 years ago, it exceeds three times his present age by two years.

To find :

Rajiv's present age

Solution :

Let the present age of Rajiv be x years.

Four years ago,

Rajiv's age = (x - 4) years

Add his present age to three times his age 4 years ago,

=> x + 3(x - 4)

According to the question,

x + 3(x - 4) - 3x = 2

x + 3x - 12 - 3x = 2

x - 12 = 2

x = 12 + 2

x = 14

Therefore, Rajiv is 14 years old.

Answer 2

let present age of Rajiv be x years

so , four years ago ,

Rajiv's age = (x-4) yrs

add his 3 time of four yrs ago age and 4 times of present age it exceeds 3 times ,

so ,

x + 3(x-4) - 3x = 2

x - 3x + 3x - 12 = 2

x = 2 + 12 = 14 years

• Rajiv is 14 years old
