Let Hassan's age be x

Therefore two years ago, his age is x - 2

His age now is 3 times his age two years ago: x = 3 (x - 2)
x = 3x - 6
3x - x = 6
2x = 6
x = 3

Hassan is 3 years old now

Therefore two years ago, his age is x - 2

His age now is 3 times his age two years ago: x = 3 (x - 2)
x = 3x - 6
3x - x = 6
2x = 6
x = 3

Hassan is 3 years old now
