Answer 1

Answer:

Age of Jake = 9 and age of dad = 33

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,Jake’s dad is 6 more than 3 times Jake’s age. The sum of their age is 42

To find the ages

Let x be the Jake's age, then age of dad = 3x + 6

Sum of their age = 42

⇒ x + 3x + 6 = 42

4x = 42 - 6 = 36

x = 36/4 = 9

Therefore age of Jake = 9

Age of dad = 3x + 6 = 3*9 + 6 = 33

Answer 2

I think the answer is 36
