Question

Smita’s mother is 34 years old. Two years from now mother’s age will be 4 times Smita’s present age. What is Smita’s present age?

Answer 1

Answer:

7 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Smithas age be X

after 2 yrs smithas age = x + 2

smihas mothers current age = 34

after 2 yrs smithas mothers age = 34 + 2 = 36 = 4( x + 2)

36 = 4x + 8

36 - 8 = 4x

28 = 4x

x = 7years
