- The present age of James be 6X
- The present age of his son be X
- Their present age
20 years ago he was 10 times of his sons age
⟹6X-20=10(X-20)
⟹6X-20=10X-200
⟹10X-6X=-20+200
⟹4X=180
⟹
⟹X=45
Hence,
The present of James=6×45=270 year's
The present of his son=45 year's

QuEsTiOn :-
Jame's age is six times his son's age.Twenty years ago he was ten times his son age. Find their present age.
SoLuTiOn :-
Let the present age of son = x
and present age of Jame's = 6x
Given :-
• Twenty years ago :-
The present age of son = x - 20
and present age of Jame's = 6x - 20
According to question
6x - 20 = 10(x - 20)
=> 6x - 20 = 10x - 200
=> 6x - 10x = - 200 + 20
=> - 4x = - 180
=> 4x = 180
=> x = 180/4
=> x = 45
So,
Present age of son = 45 and ,
Present age of Jame's = 6x = 6×45 = 270
