Let your age = x.
Set up an equation:
500 reduced by 3 times your age would be written as:
500 - 3x = 206
Subtract 500 from both sides:
-3x = -294
x = -294 / -3
x = 98
Your age is 98
Answer:
My age is 98 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
If my present age is x years.
By the statement given in the question,
" If 500 reduced by 3 times of my age is 206 "
Equation for the given statement will be
500 - 3x = 206
500 - 206 - 3x = 206 - 206
294 - 3x = 0
294 - 3x + 3x = 3x
294 = 3x
x = [tex]\frac{294}{3}[/tex]
x = 98 years
Therefore, my age is 98 years.
