Twenty six years from now rajesh will be thrice his present age. what is present age

n=current age

n+26 = 3n
2n = 26
n=13

check:
13+26 = 39 = 3*13

Good

Very good

To find the present age of Rajesh, we first need to represent the given information mathematically.

Let's assume Rajesh's present age is "x" years. According to the given information, his age twenty-six years from now will be three times his present age.

So, we can create the equation:
x + 26 = 3x

To solve this equation, we can start by isolating the variable on one side:
x - 3x = -26
-2x = -26

Next, we can solve for "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by -2:
x = (-26) / (-2)
x = 13

Therefore, Rajesh's present age is 13 years.
