Question

ather tells his son, “Six years ago, I was five times as old as you were. After

three years, I will be twice as old as you will be.”​

Answer 1

Answer:

21 and 9 years old

Explanation:

Ather's age= a,  Son's age= s

Six years ago:

• a-6=5(s-6) ⇒ a-6=5s-30 ⇒ a=5s-24

After three years:

• a+3=2(s+3) ⇒ a+3=2s+6 ⇒ a=2s+3

Comparing the 2 equations above:

• 5s-24=2s+3
• 3s=27
• s=9

Then

• a=2*9+3=21

Answer: Ather is 21 and son is 9
