Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the Anil's age = x

then,

Anil's father age = 6+3x

Now,42= 6+3x

3x=36

x=12

Answer 2

Let Anil's age be x years

then, three times Anil's age = 3x years.

Anil's Father is 6 years more than three times Anil's age.

Anil's father's age = (3x + 6) years

Also,. Anil's father's age = 42 years

Hence, (3x + 6) = 42
