Answer 1

Answer:

Yours age :- 5x

5×6= 30

yours child age =6 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present son’s age be x years Present father’s age be 5x years

Son’s age after 6 years = (x + 6) years Fathers’ age after 6 years = (5x + 6) years So,

=5x + 6 = 3(x + 6)

=5x + 6 = 3x + 18

5x – 3x = 18 – 6

2x = 12 x

= 12/2

=6

∴ present son’s age is x = 6years

Present father’s age is 5x = 5(6) = 30years
