Answer 1

Answer:

I think it will help you

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are 5 times as old as your son, your current age is 5x. In 6 years, your son's age will be x + 6, and your age will be 5x + 6. Solution: Your son's current age is 6, and your current age is 5(6) = 30.

Answer 2

Given:

• I am currently 5 times old as my son.
• In 6 years time I will be three times as old as he will be then.

To Find:

• What are their ages now = ?

Solution:

Let's say, the age of my son will be x years and my age will be 5x years.

After six years our ages will be —

• Age of my son= (x+6) years
• My age = (5x+6) years

According to the question —

$\sf \implies \: 5x + 6 = 3(x + 6) \\ \\ \sf \implies \: 5x + 6 = 3x + 18 \\ \\ \sf \implies \: 5x - 3x = 18 - 6 \\ \\ \sf \implies \: 2x = 12 \\ \\ \implies{\boxed{\mathfrak{\pmb{x = 6}}}}{\bigstar}$

Therefore —

• Present age of my son = x = 6 years
• Present age of me = 5x = 5 $\times$6 = 30 years
