Question 1134497: In 6 years time, Lara will be 3 times as old as she was 8 years ago.
Form an equation from the above and solve to find how old Lara is now. Answer by mathsolverplus(88) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let Lara's current age = x
"In 6 years time" indicates that she will be (x+6) years old.
"...as she was 8 years ago" indicates that she was (x-8) years ago.
x+6 = 3(x-8)
x+6 = 3x-24
-2x = -30
x = 15
She is currently 15 years old now.
