Question

Manu’s father’s age is 4 years more than three times Manu’s age. Find Manu’s age, if his father is 46 years old. ​

Answer 1

Given :-

• Manu's father's age is 4 years more than three times Manu's age

• Manu' father's age = 46 y/o

To find :-

• Manu's age

Solution :-

Let the age of Manu be x and her father's age be 4 + 3x

According to the question,

$\implies$ x + 4 + 3x = 46

$\implies$ 3x + 4 = 46

$\implies$ 3x = 46 - 4

$\implies$ 3x = 42

$\implies$ x = 14

Manu's age = x = 14

$\large{\boxed{\sf{\blue{Manu's~age = 14~years}}}}$

For verifying put the value of x in the father's age.

Manu's father's age = 4 + 3x

$\implies$ 4 + 3 × 14

$\implies$ 4 + 42

$\implies$ 46

Hence, verified.
