Question

Mahesh's father's age is 6 years more than three times the age of Mahesh. Find Mahesh's age if his father is 52 years old.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mahesh's age is 15 years 4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Mahesh's present age be x.

Then, his father's present age is 3x+6

From the question,

$3x+6=52\\\implies 3x=52-6\\\implies x=\frac{46}{3}=15\frac{1}{3}\:\:years=15 \: \b {years}\:4\:\b{months}$

So, Mahesh's age is 15 years 4 months.

Hope it helps!
