Set up an equation in the following cases:

Laxmi’s father is 49 years old. He is 4 years older than three times Laxmi’s age. (Take Laxmi’s age to be y years.)

Dear Student

From the question it is given that,
LetLaxmi’s age to be= y years old
Then,
Lakshmi’s father is4 years older than three times of her age
= 3 ×Laxmi’s age+ 4 =Age of Lakshmi’s father
= (3 × y) + 4 = 49
= 3y + 4 = 49

Thanks
