Question

plz plz plz urgent...... how old is a man whose age fifteen years ago was two -fifths of what it will be in 6 years?...... plz solve

Answer 1

$\bold{Solution :}$

Let the present age of Man be x years

His age in 6 years = (x + 6) years

According to Question,

$(x - 15) = \frac{2(x + 6)}{5} \\ \\ = > x - 15 = \frac{2x + 12} { 5} \\ \\ = > 5(x - 15) = 2x + 12 \\ \\ = > 5x - 75 = 2x + 12 \\ \\ = > 5x - 2x = 12 + 75 \\ \\ = > 3x = 87 \\ \\ = > x = \frac{87}{3} \\ \\ = > x = 29$

Hence, The age of Man 29 years

Answer 2

Hey there!!

Let us take the present age as ' x '

Fifteen years ago would be x - 15

Six years hence would be x + 6

If we take the para as an equation

We get

( x - 15 ) = ( 2 / 5 ) ( x + 6 )

( x - 15 ) = 2x + 12 / 5

5x - 75 = 2x + 12

3x = 87

x = 87 / 3

x = 29

The man's age is 29 years

Hope my answer helps!
