Question: Rahul's father is thrice as old as Rahul. After 12 years he will be just twice his son. Find their present ages.
Well, Welcome to the introduction to Linear Equations in one variable!
What is an equation?
=> An Equation is a mathematical language which has variable along with an 'equal to' sign.
What is a Linear equation?
=> An equation is said to be Linear when the highest power of the variable is 1.
____________________
Solution:
Let the age of Rahul be x years.
So, the age of Rahul's Father will be 3x years
2(x + 12) = 3x + 12
2x + 24 = 3x + 12
24 - 12 = 3x - 2x
12 = x
∴ Rahul's age is x that is 12 years.
∴ His father's age will be 3x = 3(12) = 36 years.
