Question

Rasaki is five times older than his son. five years ago the sum of rasaki and his sons age was 62. how old are they now

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his son be x-years old

Raz = x + 5 years old

FIVE YEARS AGO,

Son = x-5

Raz = x+5–5 = x

Sum was 62

Thus, x-5+x=62

Solve for x as follows:

x-5+x=62

2x - 5 = 62

2x = 62 + 5

2x = 67

x = 67/2

x = 33 years, 6 months.

Therefore, son is 33 years and 6 months while

Raz = 33.5+5 = 38 years and 6 months

Answer 2

Answer:

the mother is 60 years old and the son is 12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

5 years ago their age sum was 62 .

now after 5 years  their age sum is 72 ( 62+ 5( mothers) + 5 ( sons) )

so now if the mother is 5 times the age of the son then ,

their age ratio is 1x:5x. So, to find their age = 1+5 = 6

so 72/6= 12.

so the son is 12 years old (1x).

and the mother is 12*5=60(5x).

and when you add it it is 60+12=72.

Hope you understood.
