Question

My father is 30 years older than me. In 12 years time my father will be three times as old as me. Frame a equation of their present age

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the father's current age be Y

Son's current age will be Y-30

In 12 years time the fathers age will be Y+12

In 12 years time the son will be Y-30+12=Y-18

Therefore Y+12=3(Y-18)

Y+12=3x-54

2x=66

Y=33

So the father is now 33 years and the son is 3years now,in 12 years the father will be 45years and the son will be 15 years
