In 8 years Jack will be three times as old as he is now. How old is he now?

Sagot :

Answer:

4 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

3x = x + 8

2x = 8

x = 4

Answer:

4 y/o

Step-by-step explanation:

x = age now

  add 8 years

x+8    and this equals   3 times as old as he is now, or  3x

x+8 = 3x       subtract 'x' from both sides

8 = 2x           divide both sides by 2

x = 4 y/o
