Question

Q) I am currently 5 years old as my son. In 6 years time I will be three times as old as he will be then, what are our ages now?. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

My age is 30yrs and my son's age is 6yrs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let my son's age be x and my age be 5x.

By the condition,

After 6 yrs,

My age=5x+6 yrs

My son's age=x+6 yrs

We know,

My age=3* My son's age

5x+6=3(x+6)

5x+6=3x+18

2x=12

x=6 yrs

My son's age=6 yrs

My age=6*5=30 yrs.

Thanks!
