Question

Aman's age is three times his son's age ten years ago he was five times his son age find the no

Answer 1

Answer:

Aman age = 60 years

son's age = 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

let Aman age be x

son's age be y

Aman is 3 times the age of son

x = 3y

Aman age 10 years ago = x - 10

son's age 10 years ago = y - 10

Aman was 5 times his sons age

x - 10 = 5(y - 10)

x - 10 = 5y - 50

x - 5y = -50 + 10

x - 5y = - 40

substitute x = 3y

3y - 5y = - 40

- 2y = - 40

2y = 40

y = 40/2

y = 20

x = 3y

x = 3 × 20

x = 60

therefore Aman age = 60 years

son's age = 20 years
