Question

2 years ago a father was 6 time as old as his son. After 18 years he will become double the age of his son find the age of the father. (a) 28 years (b) 35 years (c) 40 years (d) 32 years​

Answer 1

Answer:

the father age is 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the father be x

Let the age of the son be y

From the information:

(x-2)=6(y-2) x-6y=-10

(x+18)=2(y+18) x-2y=18

Subtracting the equations -4y=-28

therefore y=7

Substituting in any of the above equations

x-14=18

x=32

Therefore the age of the father is 32
