Answer 2

Answer:

My father's age = 57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let My age be = x

So, if my age is then:

My father's age will be = $2x-3$

My brother's age will be = $3 + x$

Now we should frame the equation correctly for "My father’s age divided by 5 is equal to my brother’s age divided by 3" as shown below....

$\frac{2x-3}{5} = \frac{x+3}{3}$

$3(2x-3) = 5(x+3)$

Now we should multiply the number on the outside of the brackets with the number on the inside of the brackets as shown below...

$6x-15 = 5x+15$

Now group the like terms...

$6x-5x = 15+15$

Now we must evaluate to get $x$.

∴ $x = 30$

My age is = 30

My brother's age is = 3 + 30

                                 = 33

My father's age is = 2 x 30 -3

                              = 60 - 3

                              = 57
