x = 33 years

=(3x + 5) = (x + 71) (Transposition)
=3x - x = 66
=2x =66
=x = 66/2

The present age of Sahil’s mother is three times the present age of Sahil. After 5 years their ages will add to 66 years. Find their present ages.
Assume present age of sahil be x
Present age of his mother will be 3x
after 5 years
sahil age=x+5
his mothers age =3x+5.
According to question
(x+5)+(3x+5)=66
4x+10=66
4x=56
x=14
sahil present age=14 years
his mother present age= 42 years.
