Present age of the father is 3 more than 3 times of his son's age. After 10 years father will be 10 more than twice his son's age find their present ages.

Answer 1

Hi ,

At present
________

Son age = x years

Father age = ( 3x + 3 ). years

After 10 years
___________

Son age = ( x + 10 ) years

Father age = ( 3x + 3 + 10 ) years

= ( 3x + 13 ) years

According to the problem given,

3x + 13 = 2( x + 10 ) + 10

3x + 13 = 2x + 20 + 10

3x - 2x = 30 - 13

x = 17

Therefore ,

At present ,

Son age = x = 17 years

Father age = 3x + 3

= ( 3 × 17 ) + 3

= 51 + 3

= 54 years

I hope this helps you.
