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
