Question

Father’s ages is five times the son’s age. If the sum of their ages is 60 years, what will be their ages after 5 years?

Answer 1

Answer:

Assume ‘x’ as the son’s age while ‘y’ is the father’s age. We have two statements:

x+y= 60

y-6= 5(x-6)

Let’s isolate y in both equations:

y=60-x

y=5(x-6)+6 → y= 5x-30+6 → y= 5x-24

Equal one to the other since they are both equal to y and solve it:

60-x=5x-24

84=6x

x=14

With this we have the son’s age now. Add 6 and you have his age after 6 years, 20 years old.

Answer 2

Answer:

x+5x=60

6x=60

x=60/6

x=10

their ages are 10,50

after 5 years 15,55
