​

Answer 1

Given

• Kishan's father age is 8 years more than eight times Kishan's age.
• Father's age is 56 years.

To find

• Kishan's age

Solution

↦ Let Kishan's age be x

↦ Then, father's age will be 8x + 5 (A.T.P)

↦ Father's age = 56

↦ That is father's age is 8x + 5 = 56

• 8x + 5 = 56
• 8x = 56 - 5
• 8x = 51
• x = 51/8
• x = 6.37

Hence, the age of Kishan is 6.37 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let Kishan's age be x

↦ Then, father's age will be 8x + 5 (A.T.P)

↦ Father's age = 56

↦ That is father's age is 8x + 5 = 56

8x + 5 = 56

8x = 56 - 5

8x = 51

x = 51/8

x = 6.37

Hence, the age of Kishan is 6.37 years.
