x = 6y + 5 is expression
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
- Present age of Father = x yrs
- Present age of Son = y yrs
According to question,
At present, Father is 5 more, that means
x - 5 will be equal to son's age,
when Son's age is 6 times or 6y
So expression becomes, x - 5 = 6y
or x = 6y + 5
which is the desired expression in linear equations.
