Answer:_______________ |
| 1) 9 years ago, I was 27 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 36 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be x 9 years ago, my age was x - 9 Given, x - 9 = 27 x = 27 + 9 ( on transposing - 9, becomes + 9 ) ⇒ x = 36. Hence, my present age is 36. |
| 2) 9 years ago, I was 20 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 29 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be y 9 years ago, my age was y - 9 Given, y - 9 = 20 y = 20 + 9 ( on transposing - 9, becomes + 9 ) ⇒ y = 29. Hence, my present age is 29. |
| 3) 9 years ago, I was 26 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 35 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be x 9 years ago, my age was x - 9 Given, x - 9 = 26 x = 26 + 9 ( on transposing - 9, becomes + 9 ) ⇒ x = 35. Hence, my present age is 35. |
| 4) 7 years ago, I was 26 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 33 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be x 7 years ago, my age was x - 7 Given, x - 7 = 26 x = 26 + 7 ( on transposing - 7, becomes + 7 ) ⇒ x = 33. Hence, my present age is 33. |
| 5) 8 years ago, I was 24 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 32 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be y 8 years ago, my age was y - 8 Given, y - 8 = 24 y = 24 + 8 ( on transposing - 8, becomes + 8 ) ⇒ y = 32. Hence, my present age is 32. |
| 6) 6 years ago, I was 23 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 29 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be x 6 years ago, my age was x - 6 Given, x - 6 = 23 x = 23 + 6 ( on transposing - 6, becomes + 6 ) ⇒ x = 29. Hence, my present age is 29. |
| 7) 6 years ago, I was 20 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 26 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be y 6 years ago, my age was y - 6 Given, y - 6 = 20 y = 20 + 6 ( on transposing - 6, becomes + 6 ) ⇒ y = 26. Hence, my present age is 26. |
| 8) 8 years ago, I was 28 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 36 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be y 8 years ago, my age was y - 8 Given, y - 8 = 28 y = 28 + 8 ( on transposing - 8, becomes + 8 ) ⇒ y = 36. Hence, my present age is 36. |
| 9) 7 years ago, I was 22 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 29 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be x 7 years ago, my age was x - 7 Given, x - 7 = 22 x = 22 + 7 ( on transposing - 7, becomes + 7 ) ⇒ x = 29. Hence, my present age is 29. |
| 10) 10 years ago, I was 29 years old. How old am I now My present age is Answer: 39 SOLUTION 1 : Let my present age be y 10 years ago, my age was y - 10 Given, y - 10 = 29 y = 29 + 10 ( on transposing - 10, becomes + 10 ) ⇒ y = 39. Hence, my present age is 39. |
