Question

ten years ago a man's age was 6 times the age of his son 12 years later the age of the Son will be 27 years what is the present age of his father

Answer 1

From this problem let's begin with some notation: Let the man age denoted by M. With the info provided we can do this:

Son age = 27-12= 15

Finally with the condition given we can createthe following equation:

`M-10=6(15-10)`

And solving for M we got:

`M=6\cdot(5)+10=40`

So then basically the answer for the men age is 40 years
