After 15 years Vikas will be four times as old as he is now. Find his present age.
4 x = x + 15
3 x = 15
x = 5
x+15=4x
This is the equation for the question.
If we solve the equation we get the answer of the question.
So, x+15=4x
15=4x-x
15=3x
15/3=x
5=x
x=5
4x=15-x on transposing it
4x-x=15
3x=15 on transposing it multiplication gets divesion
x=15/3
X=5 -ans-
4x=x+15
4x-x=15
3x=15
x=15÷3
x=5

X+15
To find Vikas's present age, we can create an equation based on the information given. Let's represent his present age as x.
According to the information given, after 15 years, Vikas will be four times his current age. This can be written as:
x + 15 = 4x
We can solve this equation to find the value of x.
First, let's simplify the equation:
15 = 4x - x
15 = 3x
Now, isolate the variable x by dividing both sides of the equation by 3:
15 / 3 = x
5 = x
Therefore, Vikas's present age is 5 years.
