Question

Laxmi's father is 49 years old. He is 4 years older than three times laxmi's age. What is Laxmi's age​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Laxmi's age be x years

Given, Laxmi's father's age is 49 years

Given, Laxmi's father is 4 year older than three time laxmi age

So 3x + 4

According to the question,

3x + 4 = 49

3x = 49 - 4

3x = 45

x = \dfrac{45}{3}

x = 15

Present age of Laxmi is x years

We got the value of x as 15

∴ Present age of Laxmi = x

= 15 years
