Question

Six years ago the age of a person was two years more than five times the age of his son four years hence his age will be two years less than three times age of his son

Answer 1

Let the age of father be x years
Let the age of son be y years
X-6=5(y-6)+2
X-5y=-22
X+4=3(y+4)-2
X-3y=6
On solving we get x=48 and y=14
