Question

Anil's father is 6 years more than three times Anil's age. If Anil's father is 42 years old, set up an equation to find Anil's age.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Anil is 12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Anil's age = X

42 (fathers age) = 6 + 3x

42 - 6 = 3X

36 = 3X

12 = X

Answer 2

3x+6=42 is the equation to find anil's age

3x+6=42

3x=42-6

3x=36

x=36/3

x=12
