let at present age of son = x years
father age =7x years
after 5 years
son age = (x+5) years
father age = (7x+5) years
father age = 4 times of his son age
7x+5 = 4(x+5)
7x+5 = 4x+20
7x-4x=20-5
3x=15
x=15/3
x= 5
therefore
at present
son age = x = 5 years
father age = 7x = 7*5 = 35 years
father age =7x years
after 5 years
son age = (x+5) years
father age = (7x+5) years
father age = 4 times of his son age
7x+5 = 4(x+5)
7x+5 = 4x+20
7x-4x=20-5
3x=15
x=15/3
x= 5
therefore
at present
son age = x = 5 years
father age = 7x = 7*5 = 35 years
