Let the present age of Trisha be x
Trisha's age 9 years ago=x-9
Trisha's age after three years =x+3

x+3=3(x-9)
x+3=3x-27
27+3=3x-x
30=2x
30/2=x

Answer:
HERE IS THE ANSWER TO THE ABOVE QUESTION....
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Trisha be x.
So, after three years, her age will be (x+3) years.
Nine years ago, her age was (x-9) years.
Therefore, after three years, her age will be 3(x-9) years.
According to problem,
(x+3) = 3(x-9)
=> x+3 = 3x-27
=> 3x-x = 27+3
=> 2x = 30
Therefore, x = 30/2
= 15
So, Trisha's present age is 15 years.
