QUESTION 1:

Ram is 53 years old. He is 5 years older than four times his daughter laxmi's age . Find the age of Laxmi.

ANSWER 1:

• The age of Laxmi = 12.

GIVEN:

• Ram is 53 years old.

• Ram is 5 years older than four times his daughter laxmi's age.

TO FIND:

• The age of Laxmi.

EXPLANATION:

Let Laxmi's age be x.

53 = 4x + 5

4x = 53 - 5

4x = 48

x = 12

Hence the age of Laxmi = 12.

VERIFICATION:

53 = 4x + 5

Substitute x = 12

53 = 4(12) + 5

53 = 48 + 5

53 = 53

HENCE VERIFIED.

QUESTION 2:

ANSWER 2:

• The number is 35.

GIVEN:

• One fifth of a number Subtracted by 4 gives 3.

TO FIND:

• The number.

EXPLANATION:

Let the number be y.

y/5 - 4 = 3

(y - 20)/5 = 3

y - 20 = 15

y = 15 + 20

y = 35

Hence the number is 35.

VERIFICATION:

y/5 - 4 = 3

Substitute y = 35

35/5 - 4 = 3

7 - 4 = 3

3 = 3

HENCE VERIFIED.

Answer 2

Answer:

1]  53=4x+5

53-5=4x

48=4x

12=x

hence the Laxmi age is 12 yrs.

2] y/5 - 4 = 3

(y - 20)/5 = 3

y - 20 = 15

y = 15 + 20

y = 35
