Ages of two persons differ by 16 years. if 6 year ago, the elder one be 3 times as old the younger one, find their present age

Answered by admin @



\large{\boxed{\bold{Answer:}}}

Let the age of younger person be x

Thus, the age of the elder person is (x+16),

Their ages 6 years ago,

3(x - 6) = (x + 16 - 6) \\ \\ = > 3x - 18 = x + 10 \\ \\ = > x = 14

The age of the elder person will be (x+16) = 14 + 16 = 30
