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.
Maria is 11 years old.
The sum of the ages of husband and his wife is four times the sum of the ages of their children.Four years ago,the ratio of the sum of their ages of their to the sum of the ages of their children was 18:1 two years hence the ratio will be 3:1. How many children do they have.
Suppose the cat's age is x. Then Timothy's age is 3x + 4. The sum of their ages is 44 ie x + (3x+4) = 44 or 4x + 4 = 44 or 4x = 40 so that x = 10 ie the cat is 10 years old. Then Timothy's age = 3x + 4 = 3*10 + 4 = 34.
To solve, use two statements like J=3S and J+S=36 -- to expose the ages difference and also the sum of their ages. Solving we substitute for J in the second statement and show that 3S+S=36 or S=9 -- Shanea's age. So we know that Jason is 27 -- and he had to have been 24 three years ago.
There is not enough information to find the father, nor his age.The sum of their ages, in y years' time will be 7b + 2y years.

It was given the name middle ages because it was the years between prehistoric times and modern times.
a father is 30 years older than his son.in 12 years,the men will be three times as old as his son.find their present ages.
The two equations are not independent so you get an infinite number of solutions of the form Mr Diaz = 3*Daughter + 1
Dara Lynn is 7 years old.Becky is three years old.
"The original Leapster Learning System is designed for children who are between the ages of four and eight years. There is also a Leapster Two system, designed for children between the ages of three and eight years."
