x - father's age
y - son's age
- x=9y
- x+5=4(y+5)
=> 9y+5=4y+20 => 5y=15 => y=3
x=9y => x=27

The age of the father 6 years ago is four times then the age of his son The age of the father 4 years hence is double the then age of his son?
The son is 11, the father is 26
2 you are currently 5 times as old as your son In 6 years time you will be three times as old as he will be then What are your ages?
If x is the age of the son, then 5x would be the age of the father. In 6 years, the son would be x + 6 years old, where the father would be 3(x + 6) years old. Since the original age of the father is 5x, then in 6 years the father could also be said to be 5x + 6 years old. Setting these two expressions for the father's age as an equation, we then can solve for x, the son's age. 3(x + 6) = 5x +6 3x + 18 = 5x + 6 2x = 12 x = 6 The original age of the son is 6 and of the father (5x) is 30 years old. In 6 years, the son would be 12 and the father would be [3x + 18 or 5x + 6] 36 years old.

How do you solve three times your age plus 9 equals 42 years?
That only works for people who are eleven.
Two years ago father was three times as old as his son and two years hence twice his age will be equal to five times that of his son Find their present age.?
Age of the father is 20. Pretty young to be a father. Son is 8 years old. The equations are as folllows: x-2 = 3 (y-2) 2x = 5y Cheers
Adding 2 yrs to the age of a boy would make him a quarter of his father's age Five years ago his father was one year less than ten times his son's age?
His son would be 9 years old (father would be 44)
A fathers age is 30 times older than his son however after 18 years he will only be thrice as old as son find the present age of fathers?
a father is 30 times older than hi son.however after 18 years he will only be thrice as old as his sons age . find the present age of father
Fathers age is three years more than 3 times of son's age after three years fathers age will be 10 years morethan the twice of son's age What are their present ages?
son is 10, father is 33
A father is 4 times older than his son in 20 years he will be twice as old what age are they now?
Let, son's age be 'x'. So, Father's present age is 4x. Now, by the question, after 20 years, fathers, age=4x+20 and son's age =x+20 and, twice son,s age= father's age so, 2(x+20)=4x+20 2x+40=4x+20 2x=20 x=10 So, son's age is 10 years and father's age is 4x or 40 years.
