The present ages of three persons in proportions 4 : 7 : 9. Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages (in years).
4x-8+7x-8+9x-8=56 solving x=4 then present age=16,28 and36
(4x-8) + (7x-8) + (9x-8) = 56 4x + 7x + 9x - 24 = 56 20x = 56 + 24 = 80 x = 80 / 20 = 4 x = 4, Proportion is 4 : 7 : 9. So, their present ages= 16 , 28 and 36
