Question

five years ago a men was 7years old as old his son and 5 years hence he will be 3 times old as old as his son represent this situation algebric and geometrically​

Answer 1

Let Five years ago the age of son be x years and age of father be 7x years

Present age of son =x+5

Present age of father =7x+5

5 years later their age will (x+10) and (7x+10)

∴7x+10=3(x+10)

7x−3x=20

4x=20

x=5

So, the present age of son=x+5=5+5=10years
and the present age of father=7x+5=35+5=40years
