Answer:

Present age = 13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age be x years.

14 years after age = (x + 14) years

4 years ago age = (x - 4)

According to the given information:

14 years after age = 3 times 4 years ago age

x + 14 = 3(x - 4)

x + 14 = 3x - 12

14 + 12 = 3x - x

26 = 2x

x = 26/2

x = 13 years

Thus, the present age is 13 years
