Question

the sumof the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. 6years ago, the father's age was 5 times the age of his son.after 6 years, how old will the son be?​

Answer 1

20 years

Explanation:

Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively.

Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6)

54 - x = 5x - 30

6x = 84

x = 14.

Son's age after 6 years = (x+ 6) = 20 years..

I hope this helps a little bit.
