Question

I am currently 5 times as old as my daughter. in 6 years from now, I will be three times as old as she will be then. find our current ages.

Answer 1

let the daughter's age be x
then your age now= 5x
after six years, each of your age is x+6 and 5x+6
but given, x+6 = 3x
6= 3x-x = 2x
x= 6/2 = 3
therefore, your current ages are 3 and 15 years respectively
