Question

Rahim is 15 years old than Vimal. Ten years ago Vimal was half the age of Rahim. What is Rahim’s present age

Answer 1

$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

STEP 1: Define their present age:

Let Vimal be x years old

Rahim is x + 15 years old

.............................................................................................

STEP 2: Define their age 10 years ago

Vimal = x - 10

Rahim = x + 15 - 10 = x + 5

.............................................................................................

STEP 3: Form equation and solve x:

x + 5 = 2(x - 10)

x + 5 = 2x - 20

2x - x = 20 + 5

x = 25

.............................................................................................

STEP 4 : Find Rahim's age :

Rahim = x + 15 = 25 + 15 = 40 years old

.............................................................................................

Answer: Rahim is 40 years old
