Question

Amit is now 6 times old as his son. Four years after the sum of their ages will be 43 years, determine amit's present age?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let amit's son age be x

therefore , let amit's age be 6x

Now 4 years later sum of their ages will be 43 years

which means (6x+4) + (x+4) = 43

6x+4+x+4 = 43

7x + 8 = 43

7x = 43-8

7x = 35

x = 35/7

x= 5

therefore son 's age is 5 years and amit's age is 6*x or 6*5 = 30

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the present age of Amit's son be x years and that of Amit be 6x.

After four years;

(6x+4)+(x+4) = 43......given condition

=> 6x+4+x+4 = 43

=> 7x+8 = 43

=> 7x = 43-8

=> 7x = 35

=> x = 35/7

=> x = 5

Amit's present age = 6x = 6(5) = 30 years.
