Given that Manish is three years younger than Nitish. so, Manish's age is always three years less than Nitish's age. $[1 m a r k]$

For example,
If Nitish’s age is 12 years, his brother’s age would be 12 - 3 = 9 years.

So, if Nitish’s age is $x$ , then the expression for Manish’s age would be $(x - 3)$ . $[1 m a r k]$
