Question

In 5years time ,reshma will be three times old as she was 9 years ago. How old is she now?​

Answer 1

Answer:

16 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let present age of Reshma be x

9 years ago her age was x - 9

5 years after her age will be x + 5

it is given that she will be 3 times old as she was 9 years ago.

3(x - 9) = x + 5

3x - 27 = x + 5

3x - x = 5 + 27

2x = 32

x = 32/2 = 16

hence the present age of Reshma is 16 years.
