Question

Sanjay will be 3 times as old as he was 4 years ago after 18 years. Find his present age.

Answer 1

Solution :

let Sanjay's age be 'x'

3(x-4) = x+18

3x - 12 = x + 18

3x - x = 18+12

2x = 30

x = 30/2

x = 15 years

the present age of Sanjay is 15 years

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

Sanjay will be 3 times as old as he was 4 years ago after 18 years.

To find:-

Find his present age.

Solution:-

Let the present age of Sanjay be "X" years

Age of Sanjay ,4 years ago = (X-4) years

Age of Sanjay after 18 years = (X+18) years

Given that

Sanjay will be 3 times as old as he was 4 years ago after 18 years.

=>X+18 = 3(X-4)

=>X+18 = 3X -12

=>3X -12 = X + 18

=>3X - X = 18 + 12

=>2X = 30

=>X = 30/2

=>X = 15 years

Present age of Sanjay = 15 years
