Question

Sam’s father is seven years less than four times that of Sam’s age. If his father’s age is 53, find the Sam’s age.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of son and his father be X and y.

4(x-7)=y

y=53

53=4x-28

53+28=4x

Answer 2

let Sam's age be x

Sam's father is seven years less than four times of Sam's age=4x-7

father's age is 53

4x-7 = 53

4x = 53+7

4x = 60

x= 60/4

x=15

so Sam's age is 15 years
