Question

Raman's age is 16 less than 4 times his friend's age. Find his friend's age if Raman is 12 years old.​

Answer 1

Given:

Let his friend's age is x

Raman age is 12

Raman's age is 16 less than 4 times

12=4x-16

12+16=4x

4x=28

x=28/4

x=7

His friend's age is 7 years

Answer 2

Given that:- The age of Raman is $16$ which is $4$ times less than its friend's age.

To find:- The age of his friends if the age of Raman is $12$ years old.

Assume that, the friend's age be 'x',

$12=4x-16$

$12+16=4x$

By simplifying it we get,

$4x=28$

$x=7$

Hence, the friend's age will be $7$ years.
