Question

Riju's mother is one more than three times Riju's present age. After 8 years Riju's mother will be six more than two times Riju's age. What is Riju's present age?​

Answer 1

Riju's present age is 13 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Riju's present age be x.

ATQ,

His mother's age = 3x + 1

AFTER 8 YEARS,

his mother's age = 2(x+8)+6

THEREFORE,

3x + 1 = 2(x+8)+6-8

3x + 1 = 2(x+8)-2

3x + 1 = 2x + 16 - 2

3x + 1 = 2x + 14

3x - 2x = 14 - 1

x = 13
