Step-by-step explanation:
- ➡️Let the present age of Rehman =x
- 3 years ago Rehman’s age =(x–3) years
- 5 years later Rehman’s age =(x+5) years.
- Now, according to the condition,
- (x–3)1+(x+5)1=31
- (x–3)(x+5)(x+5+x–3)=31
- (x2–3x+5x–15)(2x+2)=31
- x2+2x–15=6x+6
- x2–4x–21=0
- (x+3)(x–7)=0
- Either,x+3=0 Or, x–7=0
- Thus, x=7 or –3; but age cannot be negative.
- Hence the present age of Rehman is 7 years.
