Rajhans age is one fifth his father's age after 6 years his age will be one third his father's age how old are they now?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Raja's age is one fifth his father's age" translates into: And "After 6 years,his age will be one third his father's age" translates into: (Note the use of parentheses. This is critical when using multiple term expressions, like f+6, to express a single value (the father's age in 6 years).

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let r = Raja's age and

let f = father's age

In six years they will both be six years older. So

r + 6 = Raja's age in 6 years

f + 6 = father's age in 6 years

With two variables we will need two equations. "Raja's age is one fifth his father's age" translates into:

r+=+%281%2F5%29f

And "After 6 years,his age will be one third his father's age" translates into:

%28r%2B6%29+=+%281%2F3%29%28f%2B6%29

(Note the use of parentheses. This is critical when using multiple term expressions, like f+6, to express a single value (the father's age in 6 years). In this case it helps us see that the 1/3 should be distributed.)
