William says that 15 years from now, his age will be 3 times his age 5 years ago. if x represents william’s present age, complete the following sentences. 15 years18 yearsx − 15 = 3(x + 5)x + 15 = 3(x − 5)

As per the statement:

William says that 15 years from now, his age will be 3 times his age 5 years ago.

Here, x represents the  William’s present age.

"His age after 15 years from now means"  x +15

"His age 5 years ago means x -5"

"3 times his age 5 years ago translated to" 3 (x-5)

then;

the statement becomes:

Using distributive property

Subtract x from both sides we have;

Add 15 to both sides we have;

or

2x = 30

Divide both sides by 2 we have;

x = 15

Therefore, the present age of William’s is, 15 years
