Question

I m 3 times as old as my son 5 years later, i shall be two and half time as old as my son. How old i m and how old is my son

Answer 1

let the age of your son be x

your age = 3x

5/2(x+5) = 3x+5

5x/2+15/2 = 3x+5

5x/2-3x = 5-15/2

5x-6x/2 = -5/2

-x = -5

x = 5

age of your son = 5

your age = 15
