the father is 5 more than 6 times the
age of the son' in terms of a
mathematical equation is *​

Answer 1

x = 5+6y

Explanation:

Let x represents the age of the father and y represents the present age of the son.

ATQ,

The present age of the father is 5 more than 6 times the age of the son. We can write it in the form of equation as follows :

6 times the age of the son means 6y. So,

x = 5+6y

Hence, the mathematical equation is "x = 5+6y".
