Answer:

x+15 = 3(x-5)

Explanation

Let the william present age be a, we are to find the equation representing William's claims​

15 years from now, williams age will be x+15

5 years ago, his age will be x - 5

if 15 years from now his age will be 3 times his age 5 years ago, this is expressed as;

x+15 = 3(x-5)

Hence the required equation is x+15 = 3(x-5)
