Ratan's father's age is 4 years more than three times Ratan's age. The present age of father is 46 years. i) Form a linear equation for the given statement. ii) Hence, solve the equation to find present age of Ratan .

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's age be x

Then , according to the condition,

father's age =3x+3

3 years later:

Son's age =x+3

Father's age =3x+3+3=3x+6

According to the condition given ,

3x+6=10+2(x+3)

3x+6=10+2x+6

x=10

Thus , the son's present age is 10 years and the father's age is

3x+3=3×10+3=33 years.
