Question

Reena’s father ’s age is 3 years more than 2 times Reena’s age. Find Reena’s age if her father is 57 years old.

Answer 1

Answer :

• 27 years

Given :

• Reena’s father’s age = 3 years more than 2 times Reena’s age.
• Reena’s father's age = 57 years old.

To find :

• Reena’s age

Solution :

⇒ Let the age of Reena be x.

• Let's create an equation. And after creating the equation, let's solve it by Transposing method.

→ 2x + 3 = 57

→ 2x = 57 - 3 [Subtracting]

→ 2x = 54

→ x = 54/2 [Dividing]

→ x = 27

∴ x = 27

• Therefore, Reena's age is 27 years.
