Question

Ranjit is 12 years old and Rekha is 2 years old. In how many years will Ranjit be 3 times as old as rekha

Answer 1

Hey there!

Age of Ranjit = 12

Rekha = 2

Equation :

12 + x = 3 ( x + 2 )

( x is the number of years )

12 + x = 3x + 6

6 = 2x

2x = 6

x = 3 years

Hope my answer helps!

Answer 2

$\huge{\bold{Hey !!!}}$

$\large{\bold{\blue{Solution:}}}$

Age of Ranjit $\bold{ = 12 \: years}$

Age of Rekha $\bold{= 2 \: years}$

Equation formed :—

= > $\large{\fbox{\bold{12 + x = 3(x + 2)}}}$

= > $\large{\fbox{\bold{12 + x = 3x + 6}}}$

= > $\large{\fbox{\bold{6 = 2x}}}$

= > $\large {\fbox{\bold{x = \frac{6}{2} }}}$

= > Thus, $\huge{\fbox{\bold{x = 3 \: years}}}$ ✔️✔️
