Lesedi is x years old, how old was she 5 years ago?
[tex]\blue\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Answer and How to Solve:-}}}}[/tex]
If a person is 16 years old, how old was that person 5 years ago?
That's right, 11.
How did we get 11? By taking 16 and subtracting 5 from it:-
[tex]\sf{16-5=11}[/tex]
Well, if a person's age is x, and we need to find the person's age 5 years ago, we take the person's age and subtract 5, like in the example above:-
[tex]\sf{Lesedi's\:Age:\:x-5}[/tex]
