Answer:

Explanation:

Let Angelo's present age be x and his grandfather's age be y.

x+y=68

y=68−x

In three more years, his grandfather will be six times as old as ANgelo last year :—

y+3=6(x−1)

y+3=6x−6

y+3+6=6x

y+9=6x

68−x+9=6x {y=68−x}

6x+x=68+9

7x=77

x=77÷7=11

Thus, Angelo's age = x = 11 years

And, Angelo's grandfather's age =

y = 68 - x = 68 - 11 = 57 years

Angelo's age is 11, his grandfather's age is 57
