Question

sixteen years from now, Gopi's age will be five times his present age.What is his present age?

Answer 1

Let his age be x

Given, x+16 = 5x

           16=5x-x

           16=4x

           x=16/4

            x=4.


Hope this helps!

Answer 2

let its present age be x
after 16 years it becomes x+16
which is equal to 5x
x+16=5x
4x=16
x=4
