Question

Micheal is 5 years older than Rui Feng and Vishal is thrice as old as Micheal if Rui Feng is p years old, find i) Michael's present age, ii) Vishal's present age, ii) the sum of there age in 6 age years time, iv) the sum of their ages 3 years ago.

Answer 1

Michael's present age = p + 5

Michael's present age = 3p + 15

Sum of there ages 6 year age = 5p + 38

Sum of there ages 3 year ago = 5p - 11

Explanation:

Assume;

Age of Rui Feng = x

Age of Micheal = x + 5

Age if Vishal = 3[x+5]

Given:

Age of Rui Feng = P

Computation:

Michael's present age = Age of Rui Feng + 5

Michael's present age = p + 5

Vishal's present age = 3[p + 5]

Michael's present age = 3p + 15

Sum of there ages 6 year age = [p + 6] + [p + 5 + 6] + 3[p + 5] + 6

Sum of there ages 6 year age = 5p + 38

Sum of there ages 3 year ago = [p - 3] + [p + 5 - 3] + 3[p + 5] - 3

Sum of there ages 3 year ago = 5p - 11
