Alvin's age is three times Elga's age The sum of their ages is 76 What is Elga's age?
Let's represent Elga's age as x. Since Alvin's age is three times Elga's age, we can represent Alvin's age as 3x. The sum of their ages is 76, so we can create an equation: x + 3x = 76. Combining like terms, we get 4x = 76. Dividing both sides by 4, we find x = 19. Therefore, Elga's age is 19 years old.

In 5 years Chim will be three times as old as Jared The sum of their ages is 42 How old are Chim and Jared?
c + j = 42; c + 5 = 3(j + 5) c = 42 - j so 42 - j + 5 = 3j + 15 ie 47 - j = 3j + 15 ie 4j = 32 so Jared is 8 and Chim 34 and in 5 years Jared will be 13 and Chim 39. QED

Rakhi's mother is four times as old as Rakhi After 5 years her mother will be three times as old as she will be then find their present ages?
1. Rakhi age is x Mother age 4x 2. after 5 years Rakhi age is x+5 Mother age is 3 (x+5) From 1 and 2 mother age after 5 years 4(x+5) = 3 (x+5) 4x + 20 = 3x + 15 x = 5 So the current age (i.e., after 5 years) Rakhi age = x+5 = 5 + 5 = 10 yrs Mother age = 4 (x+5) = 4 (5+5) = 40 yrs
