let Reema's present age be x yrs
therefore,
cousin's present age is 7x yrs
3(x + 8) = 7x + 8
3x + 24 = 7x + 8
7x – 3x = 24 – 8
4x = 16
x = 4
7x = 28
therefore Reema is 4 years old and her cousin 28 years.
therefore,
cousin's present age is 7x yrs
3(x + 8) = 7x + 8
3x + 24 = 7x + 8
7x – 3x = 24 – 8
4x = 16
x = 4
7x = 28
therefore Reema is 4 years old and her cousin 28 years.
