Ishaan is 3 times as old as Christopher and is also 14 years older than Christopher. How old is Ishann?
Solution:
We have to find the age of Ishaan.
Let the age of Ishaan be x.
Age of Christoper be y.
Given, Ishaan is 3 times as old as Christoper,
So, x = 3y ------------ (1)
Ishaan is 14 years older than Christoper,
So, x = 14 + y -------- (2)
Substituting (1) in (2),
3y = 14 + y
3y - y = 14
2y = 14
y = 14/2
y = 7
Now, x = 3(7)
x = 21.
Therefore, the age of Ishaan is 21 years.
Ishaan is 3 times as old as Christopher and is also 14 years older than Christopher. How old is Ishann?
Summary:
Ishaan is 3 times as old as Christopher and is also 14 years older than Christopher. Ishaan is 21 years old.
