Answer:
The combined age in seven years' time is 220 yrs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Assumption,
Let the age before four years time of cousin 1 be 'a'
Let the age before four years time of cousin 2 be 'b'
Let the age before four years time of cousin 3 be 'c'
And Let my age before four years' time be 'x'.
Given,
In four years' time, the combined age of my three cousins and me will be 208.
i.e. (a + 4) + (b + 4) + (c + 4) + (x + 4) = 208....(1)
To find,
The combined age in seven years' time.
Calculation,
From equation (1)
a + b + c + x + (4 × 4) = 208
a + b + c + x = 208 - 16
a + b + c + x = 192.
Now, the combined age in seven years time is:
(a + 7) + (b + 7) + (c + 7) + (x + 7)
= (a + b + c) + (4 7)
= (192) + (28)
= 220
Therefore, the combined age in seven years' time is 220 yrs.
