Answer:

Rida is 10 years old and her father is 40 years old.

Explanation:

Given:

Present age

Present age of Rida = x

Present age of Rida's father = 4x

Age after 5 years

Age of Radi after 5 years = x + 5

Age of Radi's father after 5 years = 3(x + 5)

What To Find:

The present age of Rida and Rida's father.

Solution:

According to the statement the equation will be,

⇒ 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5)

Remove and solve the brackets,

⇒ 4x + 5 = 3x + 15

Take numbers to RHS and variable to LHS,

⇒ 4x - 3x = 15 - 5

Subtract 3x from 4x and 5 from 15,

⇒ x = 10

Now substitute the values of Rida's age and Rida's father's age,

Rida's age = x = 10 years

Rida's father's age = 4x = 4(10) = 40 years
