Question

Deepak’s present age is one-third his mother’s present age. If the
mother’s age was five times his age 6 years ago, Write an expression to find
Deepak’s age.?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the present age of Deepak be x.

Deepak's age 6 years ago=x-6

Let his mother age be y.

His mother's age 6 years ago = y-6.

According to the question;

6years ago:

y-6= 5(x-6)

=> y = 5x - 30 + 6

=> y = 5x - 24

x= 1/3(5x - 24)
