Question

Oliver is 33 years older than his son. Eight years ago, Oliver's age is five more than thrice his son's present age. How old is Oliver now?

pls answer with solution :]​

Answer 1

47

Explanation:

Let us assume his son be x

So, the oliver age is x + 33

Now eight years ago, oliver age is 5 more than thrice his son present age

x - 8 = 5 + 3x

So,

33 + x = 5 + 3x

2x =28

x=14

o = 33+14 = 47
