Question

Max is 12 year older then suzan .after four year max age will be equal to thrice the age of suzan.find their present age

Answer 1

ANSWER:

Susan - 2 years old

Max - 14 years old

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

SUSAN'S CURRENT AGE : x

MAX'S CURRENT AGE : x + 12 (since he is 12 years older than Susan)

AFTER 4 YEARS MAX WOULD BE THRICE THE CURRENT AGE OF SUSAN-

MAX'S AGE IN 4 YEARS : (x + 12) + 4 = x + 16

SUSAN'S AGE IN 4 YEARS : x + 4

x + 16 = 3x + 12 (Since in 4 years he would be thrice the age of Susan, x, and will also be 12 years older than her)

*NOW LET'S CALCULATE TO FIND SUSAN'S AGE*-

x - 3x = 12 - 16

-2x = (-4)

(We will bring x to one side and divide the numbers instead of multiplying and change their signs since they are the opposite now)

x = 4/2 = 2 (years)

IF SUSAN IS 2 YEARS OLD THEN MAX WILL BE -

2 + 12 = 14 (years)

*IN FOUR YEARS*-

SUSAN'S AGE : 2 + 4 = 6

MAX'S AGE : 14 + 4 = 18 (6 * 3 = 18, because he would be thrice the age of Susan in 4 years)
