Write an algebraic expression for this
A boy is b years old and his father is 6 times as old as him
Find the father age. Also find the sum if their ages in y years time​

Answer 1

Answer: 72 yrs

Step-by-step explanation:b = 6b

Father is 6b, without b, or boy's age, cannot determine father's exact age.

But, if boy is say 10, then father is 6(10)=60

b+y = 6b+y

In y years, they both will have increased in age by y years.

If, for example, we look in 12 years, then

b+12=6b+12 and if, for example, boy was 10, then

10+12=6(10)+12

boy is 22 and father is 60+12= 72

Answer 2

Let the age of the boy be b yrs

Therefore, the age of the father will be 6b

According to the given condition,

b+6b=y

7b=y

7=y/b
