Question

In 15 years lisa will be four times as old as she is now. how old is she now

Answer 1

Lisa is 5 years old

Explanation:

we can make an equation like

4x=15+x

X can represent Lisa’s current age

Now just solve for X

3x=15

x=5

And we can check

If Lisa is 5 years old now

In 15 years she would be 20

And 20 is 4 times as 5 which Is her current age

So Lisa is 5 years old now.
