Question

Mr.Rao is three times as old as his son. Six years later, the sum of their
ages will be 72 years. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mr.Rao's age = 45

His son's age = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

let Mr.rao's sons age be ( x ) then his age would be ( 3x ) six years later His sons age would be (x + 6) and his age will be ( 3x + 6 ) . frm this we can get and equation

x + 6 + 3x + 6 = 72

4x = 72 - 12

x = 60/4

x = 15 = son's age

Then father's age = 3x = 3 * 15 = 45
