Explaination.

So here this question is of concept linear equations. As in linear equations we assumes the unknown number as an variable. Here also we would be doing same.!!

Here we have been provided with a condition that the Sameer's father is two years more than three times Sameer's age.

But we won't be assuming the age of Sameer as any other variable other than x. (Because it's given in the question)

Therefore according to the question,


\implies \: \underline{\boxed{ \sf{Age \: of \: Sameer's \: father \: = \: 3 (Age \: of \: Sameer) \: + \: 2}}} \: \red\bigstar

Substituting the age of Sameer as x.


\longrightarrow \: \sf{Age \: of \: Sameer's \: father \: = \: 3 (x) \: + \: 2} \: \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: \sf{Age \: of \: Sameer's \: father \: = \: 3 * (x) \: + \: 2} \\ \\ \longrightarrow \: \red{\sf{Age \: of \: Sameer's \: father \: = \: 3x \: + \: 2}}

Henceforth,

  • Age of Sameer's father is (3x + 2)

Answer:

3x+2

Explanation:

Let Sameer age be x years old at present

Three times Sameer's age = 3 * x = 3x

Two years more than three times Sameer's age = 3x + 2

If Sameer's father is two years more than three times Sameer's age, the the age of Sameer's father at present will be (3x+2) years
