Question

the age of sohan lal is four times the age of his son amit.if the difference of their ages is 27 years , find the age of amit

Answer 1

9 years old

Explanation:

1. Set up the equation

4x = x + 27

This represents 4 times the age of amit is equal to amit's age plus 27 because sohan is older and their ages have a difference of 27 years.

2. Get x by itself on one side by subtracting

3x = 27

3. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 3

x = 9
