Best Answer

F = S + 24; F - 4 = 5(S - 4).

S + 24 - 4 = 5S - 20

S + 20 = 5S - 20

4S = 40

S = 10, so F = 34 now.

4 yr ago S = 6 & F = 30 = 5 x 6. There you have it.

Fathers age is 4 times that of his son 5 years back it was 7 times His age now is?

It's not solvable: Proof that it's not solvable: 2 simultaneous equations - let F =father and S=son F = 4S (father is 4 times son's age) and F-5=7S (father minus 5 years equals 7 times son's age). Combining both gives 4S=7S+5 which is 3S=-5. Clearly you cannot have a negative age, which makes the question nonsensical.

You are four times older than your son In twenty years of time your age will be twice as your son ' s age Calculate my son ' s age?

This can be written as an equationOn the one side we have:4s which means 4 x the age of my son.This is the same as2s+20 which means in 20 years I will be 2 x the age of my son.Since I and my son do not change, both statements must be true so:4s = 2s+20We need to find s, so rearrange to get s on one side on its own:4s - 2s = 202s = 20s = 20 / 2s = 10My son is 10 years old.To check this is correct use the answer in both the original statements to see if they are still true.4 x 10 = 40 years. I am 40 years old.in 20 years my son will be 30 and I will be 60. I will then be twice as old as my son.
