Question

A father is 45 years old and his son is 9 years old. In how many years' time will the father be three times as old as the son?​

Answer 1

Answer:

x years until father is three times older than his son

45 + x /9+ x = 3 , ratio of their age is 3

x+45=3(x+9)

x+45=3x+27

45=2x+27

2x=45-27

2x=18

x=9

Answer 2

Answer:

it not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

I think you instead of 9 five should come so

After 15 years, the father will be three times as old as the son.

This works because if you were to add 15 to each number, you would see that the father would be 60 years old, and the son would be 20 years old.

If you divide 60 by 20, you get 3.
