In 1st month let she exercised h hours
in second month she exercised h+4 hours
in third month she exercised h+4-3=h+1 hours
Now
- h+h+4+h+1=101
- 3h+5=101
- 3h=96
- h=32hours
Let us always base on the present age. We denote this by x. Now, the age he had 2 years ago would then be denoted as (x-2). Let's equate this to 20 years old.
x - 2 = 20
x = 20 + 2
x = 22 years old
He should be 22 years old now.
Let's check the other condition. After 1 year, his age should be (x+1). Let's equate this to 23 years old.
x + 1 = 23
x = 23 - 1
x = 22
Thus, this is possible if Reuben is 22 years old as of the present.
the answer is 2x2+12z-5 (its also in the picture)
