Question

in 7 years from now Ram will be twice as old he was eight years ago how old is he now​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ram's present age be x.

In 7 years from now ,his age is x+ 7.

This is twice his age 8 years ago.

Hence

x+7=2(x-8)=2x-16

Rearranging,

2x-x=7+16=23

x= 23. He is 23 years old now.

Let present age of ram is x

According to Question, before 8 years Ram age

Ram age is x-8

After 7 years Ram age

x+ 7 = 2( x- 8)

x+ 7= 2x- 16

16+7 = x

x = 23 years

Ram present age is 23years

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ram's present age be = x

In 7 years = Twice as old as he was 8 years ago

                 = 2( x - 8 )

Then.

x + 7 = 2( x - 8 )

x+7 = 2x-16

x-2x = -16-7

-x = -23

x = 23
