One-half of Meera’s age two years from now plus one-third of her age three yearsago is twenty years. Find how old is she now?
Answer: Meera is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
suppose the present age of meera is x years
by the given condition
1/2(x+2)+1/3(x-3)=20
3(x+2)+2(x-3)=120 …………..multiply by 6
3x+6+2x-6=120
5x=120
x=24
hence the present age of meera is 24 years.
