Question

The age of the father is 5 times the age of the son. If the sum of the ages of the two is 24 years,
which of the following equations occurs?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let age of son be x

age of father be 5x

given sum =24

x+5x=24

6x=24

x=4

age of son = 4 years

age of father=20 years

Answer 2

Answer:

let's assume the sons age as x

therefore,age of father is 5x

therefore,x + 5x=24

therefore,6x is 24

x=4

father's age is 20 and sons age is 4
