Question

the one answering this q correctly will get brainliest. Q- Ram is three times as old as his son. After 10 years, sum of their ages
will be 76 years. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Ram's son be x years-old.

then, ram = 3x years old.

after ten years, Ram will be 3x + 10 years-old

and his son will be x + 10 years old.

given,

x+10 + 3x+10 = 76

x + 3x + 10 +10 = 76

4x + 20 = 76

4x = 76-20

4x = 56

x= 56÷4

x = 14

so Ram's son whose age is x, is 14 years old and

Ram is 3x = 3×14

= 42 years old.
