Hiba is 28 years old and her daughter nohad is 6 years old
In how many years will the age of hiba be greater than triple the age of nohad?
:
Let y = no. of years for this to be true.
:
28+y > 3(6+y)
28 + y > 18 + 3y
y - 3y > 18 - 28
-2y > -10
Multiply by -1, this reverses the inequality sign
2y < 10
y < 5
:
For less than 5 yrs H will be more than 3 times N's age

Check this:
in 5 yrs H will be exactly 3 time N's age
and
in 6 yrs H will less than 3 time N's age
