Question

Twenty four years from now Kavita will be three times her present age. What is her present age ?

Answer 1

This can be answered using a simple Linear equation.

Let the variable representing the girl’s present age be defined as ‘x’

In 24 years, the girls age will be ‘x+24’

In 24 years she will be 3 times as old as her present age and so

x + 24 is equal to 3 times her present age or ‘3x’

So writing this mathematically:

x+24=3x

Then Solve

x + 24 = 3x

24= 3x - x

24 = 2x

24/2 = x

12= x

x = 12.

Because x represents the present age of the girl, the girl’s age now is

12 years old.
