Question 648053: In 24 years, Travis will be 3 times his present his present age. How old is he now?
Answer by crazylogms(2)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! lets presume, the present age of travis to be :- X years
after 24 years his age becames :- X+24 years
when he attends the age of X+24 years he becomes trice of it's present age (3X years)
Therefore,
X+24 = 3X
Doing some algebra we get
2X = 24
dividing each side by 2
X = 12
Thus the present age of Travis is 12 years.
After 24 years his age is ( 12 + 24 ) = 36 years which is exactly trice of it's present age ( 3 * 12 = 36 years )
Cheers.
