Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given In 6 years, kate will be thrice as old as she was ten years ago. How old was kate 10 years ago?

• Let Kate represent K.
• According to the question we get the equation as
• After 6 years,
• K + 6 = 3K – 10
• K + 6 – 3k = - 10
• -2K = - 10 – 16
• -2K = - 26
• Or K = 26/2
• Or K = 13

So Kate was 13 years old 10 years ago.
