Question

johns age increased by 11 is 5 less then 5 times his age how old is he

Answer 1

x + 11 = 5x - 5 which gives 4x = 16 i.e. x = 4

Thus John is 4 years old

Answer 2

We will call X to John's age.

X + 11 = 5X - 5

11 + 5 = 5X -X

16 = 4X

X = 16/4 = 4

ANSWER John is 4 years old

We can check it by replacing this age​

4 + 11 = 5*4 - 5

15 = 20 - 5 = 15 ¡Checked!
