Answer 1

Hey

Hope you are doing well

Here is your answer

Let the number of years after which the father will be five times the age of the son be x.

So according to the question, the equation goes as follows:

35 + x = 5*(11+ x)

35 + x = 55+ 5x

4x = 20

x = 5 years

Therefore; after 5 years, the father will be five times the age of the son!
