Question

Roy is 11 years old and his uncle is 59 years old how many years ago was roy’s uncle 7 times as old as roy ? (Question from algebric equation chapter plz answer in that method only )

Answer 1

Roy=11 years old.
Uncle=59 years old.
According to the question,
7(11-x) = 59-x.
77-7x = 59-x.
-x+7x = 77-59.
6x=18.
x=18/6.
= 3.
Three years ago his uncle age was 7 times Roy's age.
Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Roy's age (now):-11
His uncle's age :-59
x years ago Roy's age :-(11-x)
Uncle's age:-(59-x)
(59-x)=7 (11-x)
(59-x)=77-7x
7x-x=77-59
6x=18
x=18÷6
x=3
( 3 years ago the Roy's uncle 7 times as old as Roy)
