Answer 1

Given

• Jason is eight years older than Tony
• Present age of Jason is 18 years.

___________________________

To Find

• The present age of Tony

___________________________

Solution

Let the present age of Tony be 'x'.

Age of Jason ⇒ x + 8

Here we are given with the age of Jason that is '18 years old'. Using the given information we'll solve this equation to find the present age of Tony ⇒ x + 8 = 18

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

x + 8 = 18

Step 1: Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

⇒ x + 8 - 8 = 18 - 8

⇒ x = 10

∴ x = 10

∴ The present age of Tony is 10 years old.

∴ The answer is d) 10.

To Find :-

• What is the present age of tony.

Solution :-

Let, the present age of tony be x

And, the present age of tony will be x + 8

↦ 10 = 10

➦ LHS = RHS

Hence, Verified ✔
