Question

two years ago my age

was 4 and a half time the age of my son. six years ago, my age was twice the square is the age of my son. what is the present age of my son

Answer 1

Let the present age be x
Let the sons age be y

X-2=(y-4)2
x-2=2y-8
X=2y-6

X-6=(y-6)^2 *2
2y-6-6=(y^2+36-12y)2
2(y-6)=(y^2+36–12y)2
y+12y-6-36=y^2
13y-42=y^2
y^2-13y+42=0
