Question

unni's mother's age is 5 mre than 3 times unni's age . if his mother's age is 32 , find the age of unni.

Answer 1

let unni's age = x years

mother's age =3x+5---(1)
mother's age =32 (given)---(2)
(1)=(2)
3x+5 =32
3x=32-5
3x=27
x= 27/3
x=9
therefore
unni's age = x= 9 years

Answer 2

Unni age = x
Unni's mother's age = 32…… (1)
Unni's mother's age is 3x+5…… (2)
So,
3x+5 = 32
3x = 32-5
3x = 27
x = 27÷3
x = 9
Unni age = 9
Unni's mother age = 3x+5
= 3 (9) +5
= 27+5
= 32
