Question

A person married at 27 years. He is celebrating his birthday. On the cake, no of candles equal his age and are six times the number of years he has been married plus two. What is his age.

Answer 1

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider after marriage , present age from marriage is x.

6 times from number of years he has been married is 6x

So,

27+x=6(x)+2

5x= 27-2

5x=25

x=5

Substitute x in 6x+2,

6x+2= (6*5)+2 =30+2= 32
