Question

The age of the father is equal to the sum of ages of his six children after fifteen years twice the age of the father will be the sum of ages of his children find the age of the father

Answer 1

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

let x = the age of the father,

since the age of the father and children are equal,

x can also equal the total age of the 6 children

so x = x

in 15 years, the father's age will be x + 15

in 15 years, the total age of the children will be x + 6 * 15 because every child aged by 15

therefore:

2(x+15) = x + 6 * 15

2x + 30 = x + 90

x = 60
