Answer:
9 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age = x
Age 6 years ago = x - 6
Thrice my age 6 years ago = 3*(x -6) =3x - 3*6 = 3x - 18
Twice my present age = 2 *x = 2x
Thrice my age 6 years ago be subtracted from
twice my present age = 2x - (3x - 18)
2x - (3x - 18) = x
2x - 3x + 18 = x
-x + 18 = x {Add x to both sides}
18 = x + x
18 = 2x {Divide both sides by 2}
18/2 = x
x = 9 years
