Rahul's father is five years older than four times Rahul's age. If Rahul's father's age is 33 years, then age of Rahul is ____ years.
f = 5 + 4 r
f = 33
so
33 = 5 + 4 r
subtract 5 from both sides
4 r = 28
r = 28/4 which is 7
To find Rahul's age, we can use the information given in the problem.
Let's say Rahul's age is represented by the variable 'R'.
According to the problem, Rahul's father's age is five years older than four times Rahul's age, which can be written as:
Father's age = 4 * R + 5
We are also given that Rahul's father's age is 33 years, so we can equate the two:
4 * R + 5 = 33
Now, we need to solve this equation for R.
Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation:
4 * R = 33 - 5
4 * R = 28
Dividing both sides by 4:
R = 28 / 4
R = 7
Therefore, Rahul is 7 years old.
