Question

Sixteen year hence a man's age will be 9 times his age 16 years ago. find his age 5 years hence.

Answer 1

Heya

Let the present age of the man be x

According to the question,

x+16 = 9(x-16)

x+16 = 9x - 144

9x-x-144-16=0

8x-160= 0

8x=160

x=160/8=20

Age of the man 5yrs hence = 20+5 = 25 years.

Hope it helps^_^
