Step-by-step explanation:
R={10 years old}
PREMISES
R+15=5(R-5)
ASSUMPTIONS
Let Rayan's present age=R
Let Rayan's age after 15 years=R+15
Let Rayan's age 5 years back=R-5
CALCULATIONS
R+15=5(R-5)
R+15=5R-25
(R-R)+15=(5R-R)-25
0+15=4R-25 (Flip the equation)
4R-25=15
4R-(25–25)=15+25
4R-0=15+25
4R=15+25
4R=40
4R/4=40/4
R=40/4
R=
10 years old
PROOF
If R=10 years old, then the inverse of the statement R+15=5(R-5) returns
R+15/(R-5)=5
(10+15)/(10–5)=5
25/5=5 and
5=5 proves the root (zero) R=10 years old of the statement R+15=5(R-5)
