Question

its a age question pls solve and tell with process as fast as possible

Answer 1

We are given that John's father is 59 years old. And He is 5 years older than 4 times John's age.

Now, Let's move on finding the answer for our Question.

Solution :

Let,

• John's age be $'x'$

We know that,

• John's Father = $\sf{49\:yrs}\:---(1)$

And also,

John's Father is 5 years older than four times John's age.

• Father = $\sf{5\:+\:4x}\:---(2)$

Equalling (1) and (2),

$\implies\sf{5\:+\:4x\:=\:49}$

$\implies\sf{4x\:=\:49\:-\:5}$

$\implies\sf{4x\:=\:44}$

$\implies\sf{x\:=\:{\dfrac{44}{4}}}$

$\implies\sf{x\:=\:{\cancel{{\dfrac{44}{4}}}}}$

$\implies\sf{x\:=\:11}$

Hence, John is = 11 years old.

Answer 2

$\bf \underline{Given :-}$

• Age of John's father = 49
• John's father is 5 years more than 4 times John's age

$\bf \underline{To \: Find :-}$

• John's age

$\bf \underline{Solution :-}$

Let John's age be x

Therefore, according to the question,

$\sf \implies 4x + 5 = 49 \\ \\ \sf \implies4x = 49 - 5 \\ \\ \sf \implies x = \dfrac{44}{4} \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \sf \implies x = 11 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:$

Therefore, John's age is 11
