Answer:
Present age = 13 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age be x years.
14 years after age = (x + 14) years
4 years ago age = (x - 4)
According to the given information:
14 years after age = 3 times 4 years ago age
x + 14 = 3(x - 4)
x + 14 = 3x - 12
14 + 12 = 3x - x
26 = 2x
x = 26/2
x = 13 years
Thus, the present age is 13 years
