Question

Khairul is x years old .Khairul`s uncle is 4 times as old as khairul will be in 5 years .Find the present age of Kharuls`s uncle. Plz some one answer this question will be very thankfull

Answer 1

y= 4x+15

Explanation:

This problem tests our ability to express word problem using equation

Given data

Khairul age = x years

let the uncle's age be y

in five years time, Khairul will be = x+5

in five years time, the uncle will be = y+5

hence Khairul uncle's age is

y= 4(x+5)

y=4(x+5)

y=4x+20

hence the uncles current age is

y+5=4x+20

y= 4x+20-5

y= 4x+15

Answer 2

4x + 15

Explanation:

Let the age of Khairul's uncle y.

From the question given above, the following were obtained:

Khairul's age = x years

In 5 years time:

Khairul's age = x + 5

Khairul's uncle age = y + 5

But from the question given above,

Khairul`s uncle will be 4 times as old as what khairul will be in 5 years. This can be written as follow:

y + 5 = 4(x + 5)

Clear bracket

y + 5 = 4x + 20

Subtract 5 from both side

y + 5 – 5 = 4x + 20 – 5

y = 4x + 15

Therefore, Khairul's uncle present age is 4x + 15
