Question

My father’s age divided by 5 is equal to my brother’s age divided by 3. My brother is 3 years older than me. My father’s age is 3 less than 2 times my age. How old is my father?

Answer 1

Answer:

45 This is the answer ...........

Answer 2

The age of my father is 57 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Let my age be 'x'.

Let the age of my brother be 'x+3'

Let the age of my father be '2x-3'

According to question, it becomes,

$\dfrac{2x-3}{5}=\dfrac{x+3}{3}\\\\3(2x-5)=5(x+3)\\\\6x-15=5x+15\\\\6x-5x=15+15\\\\x=30$

So, the age of my father would be

$2x-3=2\times 30-3=60-3=57\ yrs$

Hence, the age of my father is 57 years.
