Answer 1

Answer:

17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider that Cindy's age is X year

form statement we know that the current age of Mindy is 3 times of Cindy

i.e X = 3x

now 4 years ago

=> x-4 = 3x-4

Mindy's age was 4 times of Cindy

it means

=> 4(x-4) = 3x-4

=> 4x-16 = 3x-4

=> X = 12 years

it means Cindy's current age is 12 years

after 5 years age will be

= 12+5 = 17
