Question

A’s age is six times B’s age. Four years hence, the age of A will be four times B’s age. Find the present ages,in years,of A and B

Answer 1

B's age = z

A's age = 6z

After 4years

B's age = z+ 4

A's age = 4(z+4)

6z + 4 = 4z + 16

2z = 12

z = 6

B's present age = 6years

A's present age = 36years

Answer 2

answer is 6 and 36 years
