Answer:
Jame's age = 6x = 6 × 45 = 270 years
Son's age = x = 45 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Jame's age = 6x
Son's age = x
Twenty years ago:
Jame's age = 6x - 20
Son's age = x - 20
6x - 20 = 10(x - 20)
6x - 20 = 10x - 200
6x - 10x = -200 + 20
-4x = -180
x = -180/-4
x = 45
Jame's age = 6x = 6 × 45 = 270 years
Son's age = x = 45 years
Check ⇒
270 - 20 = 10(45 - 20)
250 = 450 - 200
250 = 250
L.H.S = R.H.S
Hence, verified.
