present age be
therefore after sixteen years
age=(x+16)
age sixteen years ago = (x-16)
according to the question
(x+16) = 9(x-16)
x+16 = 9x - 144
160 = 8x
x = 160/8 = 20
age five years from now = x + 5
= 20 + 5
= 25
therefore after sixteen years
age=(x+16)
age sixteen years ago = (x-16)
according to the question
(x+16) = 9(x-16)
x+16 = 9x - 144
160 = 8x
x = 160/8 = 20
age five years from now = x + 5
= 20 + 5
= 25
