Given :-
The sum of ages of Mohit and his father = 45 years
If 9 is added to three times the age of Mohit, the sum is equal to the present age of his father.
To Find :-
Present age of Mohit.
Analysis :-
Consider Mohit's present age as a variable.
Make two cases according to the question.
By making an equation, find the value of the variable.
Solution :-
Let the present age of Mohit be 'x'.
Given that,
Mohit's father's age = 3x + 9
Sum of their ages = 45 years
Making an equation,
x + 3x + 9 = 45
4x + 9 = 45
By transposing,
4x = 45 - 9
4x = 36
Finding x,
x = 36/4
x = 9
Mohit = 9
Therefore, Mohit's present age is 9 years.

Let Mohit's age be x years and his father's age be (3x+9) years.
According to the problem, the sum of their ages are 45 years.
Therefore,
x+(3x+9) = 45
4x+9 = 45
4x = 36
x = 9
Hence, Mohit's present age is 9 years ⬅️⬅️⬅️
and his father's present age is 36 years.
