x = fathers age
y = daughters age
x+2 = 6y--------1
x-3=5y----------2
eq 1
x+2 = 6y , x = 6y-2
replacing the value
6y-2-3=5y
y -5=0
y = 5
current age of daughter is 5
x+2 = 6y , x+2 = 30 , x = 28
fathers age is 28
y = daughters age
x+2 = 6y--------1
x-3=5y----------2
eq 1
x+2 = 6y , x = 6y-2
replacing the value
6y-2-3=5y
y -5=0
y = 5
current age of daughter is 5
x+2 = 6y , x+2 = 30 , x = 28
fathers age is 28
