Answer:
p = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
present age of p = p
present age of q = q
present age of r = r,
Four years ago,
p= p-4
q= q-4
r= r-4
ATQ.
p-4 = 2(q-4 + r-4) - 14.
let (q + r) = a
p-4=2(a-8) - 14.
p-2a+26=0 (1).
Six years hence,
p= p+6
q= q+6
r= r+6
p+6 = (a+12) - 4.
p-a-2=0 (2)
subtract equation 1 from equation 2.
p-2a+26=0
p- a - 2. = 0
_________
a + 28 =0, a = 28
__________
substitute a = 28 in question 1 or 2
p - a - 2 = 0
p - 28 - 2 = 0
p -30 = 0
p= 30
therefore the present age of P is 30 years.
