The age of Hassan is added to thrice the age of Nida is 30 years. If Nida’s age is one-sixth of Hassan’s age then find Hassan’s age?
Explanation
Let's denote Hassan's age as H and Nida's age as N.
Given:
1. H + 3N = 30
2. N = H/6
Substitute N = H/6 into the first equation:
H + 3(H/6) = 30
H + H/2 = 30
Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:
2H + H = 60
3H = 60
H = 20
