Let Ishaan be x years
x + 36 = 3 x
36 = 2 x
x = 18
Ishaan is 18

Answer: He is 18 years old right now.

Explanation:

Let the present age of Ishaan be x

After 36 years,

his age will be x+36

According to question,

it is mentioned that Ishaan will be 3 times as old as he is right now ,

So, we will frame it in equation:


x+36=3x\\\\36=3x-x\\\\36=2x\\\\x=(36)/(2)\\\\x=18\ years

Hence, he is 18 years old right now.
