Step-by-step explanation:
Step -1: Let the present age of Reshma be x years.
Then 9 years ago her age was (x−9) years.
and after 5 years her age will be (x+5) years.
We have given, After 5 years her age will be three times old as her age was 9 years ago
⇒x+5=3(x−9)…(1)

⇒x+5=3x−27
⇒3x−x=5+27
⇒2x=32
⇒x=
