Question

I am currently 5times as old as my son in 6 year time I will be 3times as old as his son will be then what are our ages

Answer 1

Let son's age be x years

Let father's age be 5x

Equation:-

X + 6 ÷ 5x + 6

X + 6 = 5x + 6

-6 +6 = 5x + X

0 = 6x

6 = X

Son's age = X

=6 years

Father's age = 5x

=5 × 6

=30 years
