Aleeka is now 12 years old and Ravina is 24 years old. How many years ago was Aleeka three times as old as Ravina?

Please solve it with steps..

 Aleeka's present age is 12

Ravina'  " """"""""""""""" is 24

Now

12  - x

24 - x

(24 - x) = 3(12 - x)

24 -x = 36 - 3x

36 - 24 = - x + 3x

12 = 2x

x = 6

Se your question should be How many years ago Ravina was three times as old as as Aleeka because if we solve in the question is comes to be comes to be 30 years and that would go to negative.

Cheers

Best of Luck
