x - father's age
y - son's age
=> 9y+5=4y+20 => 5y=15 => y=3
x=9y => x=27
The son is 11, the father is 26
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.

let x be the age of father and y be the age of the son....... now according to the question just make the equations and solve it with any method u prefer to be the most easiest to solve.........

5*8=40 The father is 40years old
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
That only works for people who are eleven.
Well, isn't that a lovely puzzle we have here! Let's paint a happy little picture to solve it. If we let the son's current age be "S," then the father's current age would be "3S." After 15 years, the father will be "3S + 15" and the son will be "S + 15." Since the father will be twice as old as the son at that time, we can set up the equation "3S + 15 = 2(S + 15)" and solve for S. Happy solving!
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
son is 10, father is 33
Well, well, well, looks like we've got a little math puzzle on our hands. Let's break it down: if adding 2 years to the boy's age makes him a quarter of his father's age, and five years ago the father was one year less than ten times his son's age, then the boy is currently 10 years old and the father is 40. Math never lies, darling.
