Three yrs hence, a men will be three time his brother age and the sum of present age is 18 find their present age

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of a man = x

Age of his brother = y

Three yrs hence, a man will be three time his brother age

This is written as:

x + 3 = 3(y + 3)

x + 3 = 3y + 9 Equation 1

The sum of present age is 18

= x + y = 18

x = 18 - y

We substitute 18 - y for x in Equation 1

find their present age

18 - y + 3 = 3y + 9

Collect like terms

21 - 9 = 3y + y

12 = 4y

y = 12/4

y = 3 years

x = 18 - y

x = 18 - 3

x = 15 years

unless if u could do my questions, if not i wouldn't want to
