In 16 years, Ben will be 3 times as old as he is right now.

Answer:

Bens present age is 8 years old.

He will be 24 years old in 16 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Present Age of Ben: x

Age in 16 years: x + 16

Equation:

In 16 years, his age will be 3 times as old as he is now.

x + 16 = 3x

3x - x = 16

2x/2 = 16/2

x = 8

Bens present age is 8 years old.

He will be 24 years old in 16 years.

Check:

In 16 years, his age will be 3 times as old as he is now.

8 + 16 = 3 (8)

24 = 24  (True)
