Let to be Present age of father =x
And Present age of his Daughter =Y
*
Age of father =) x-7
Age of His Daughter=) y-7
Age of father=7× Age of his Daughter
7(x-7)=(y-7)
7x-49=y-7
7x-y=-7+49
7x-y=42 ( Equation-1)
THREE YEARS HENCE,
AGE OF FATHER=X+3
AGE OF HIS DAUGHTER=Y+3
So.
Age of father=3×Age of his Daughter
3(x+3)=y+3
3x+9=y+3
3x-y=3-9
3x-y=-6.
The given situation can be represented algebraically by the system of simultaneous equation given by 7x – y = 42 and 3x – y = 6.
Consider the equation
7x – y = 42.
∴ y = 7x – 42
When x = 6,
y = 7 × 6 – 42 = 42 – 42 = 0
When x = 7,
y = 7 × 7 – 42 = 49 – 42 = 7
When x = 5,
y = 7 × 5 – 42 = 35 – 42 = – 7
These points can be represented in a table :-
