5x-3=42. To solve you add three to both sides making the equation 5x=45. Then you divide both sides by five, and you get 9 as your answer.

Let the present age of the father = x
Let the present age of the son = y
Solution
x + y = 60
How many years will pass? You could say it's z.
x + z = y When z years pass, the son will be his father's present age.
x + z + y + z = 120 when z is added to both their current ages, the result is 120 Collect like terms
x + y + 2z = 120
<u>x + y = 60 </u> Subtract The very first equation
2z = 60 Divide by 2
z = 60/2 30 years have passed.
z = 30
x + z = y
x + 30 = y Substitute x + 30 for the present y value (the father).
x + x + 30 = 60
2x = 30
x = 15
x + y = 60
15 + y = 60
y = 60 - 15
y = 45
So the son's age right now is 15
The father's age right now is 45
120/12=x
120/12=10
Then answer to this problem is B
