Question

a father is 3 times as old as his son. in 14 years time, he will be twice as old as his son. How old is the father now?

Answer 1

let the boy be x..

father = 3x

given:-

x. +14 = 3( x +14)

x. + 14 = 3x +42

-42 + 14 = 3x - x

-28= 2x.

-28/2 = x

-14 = x

transpose x then it will come in positive

x =14

father = 3x = 3*14= 42

answer = 42 years
