Question

Pls help. Have tried this problem a couple times but my answers didnt work

Answer 1

Answer:

N - 4 = 3(M - 4). Simplified further, N - 4 = 3(M - 4)

Given,

Nina is N years old now and;

Maryna is M years old now

If four years ago, Nina was three times as old as Maryna was, then

Four years ago, Nina's age was N - 4

Four years ago, Maryna's age was M - 4

Given that Nina was three times as old as Maryna was four years ago, it means that

N - 4 = 3(M - 4)

To solve further

N = 3m - 12 + 4

N = 3M - 8
