Question
Given Munnu’s age to be x years, can you guess what (x − 2) may show?
(Hint: Think of Mannu’s younger brother.)
Can you guess what (x + 4) may show? What (3x + 7) may show?
Solution
(x − 2) represents that the person, whose age is (x − 2) years, is 2 years younger to Munnu.
(x + 4) represents that the person, whose age is (x + 4) years, is 4 years elder to Munnu.
(3x + 7) represents that the person, whose age is (3x + 7) years, is elder to Munnu and his age is 7 years more than three times of the age of Munnu.
