Question

A man is 10 times older than his grandson.He is also 54 years older than him.Find their present ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Man = 60

Grandson = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Grandson's age = x

Man's Age = 10x

10x = x + 54

10x - x = 54

9x = 54

x = 54/9

x = 6

Answer 2

Answer:

Grandson=6

Man=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let age of grandson =a

age of man = 10a

( as age of man is 10 times his grandson)

age of man - age of grandson =54

10a - a =54

9 a = 54

a = 6

therefore age of man = 10 a

= 10 × 6

= 60
