Question

In 5 years time, Maja’s age will be twice what it was 6 years ago. How old is Maja now?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let Maja's present age be X .

6 years ago , she was x-6 yrs

In 5 years time maja's age will be (X+5) yrs

according to question ,

( X+5) = 2(x-6)

x+5. = 2x-12

x-2x = -12- 5

- X = - 17. ( minuses will be cancelled)

therefore , X = 17 years.

Hence ,

Maja's age is now 17 years old.
