Question

daniiel is currently 26 years older than his son. in 6 years he will be three times older than his son. how old are both of them now?

Answer 1

Answer:

Daniiel is 33 years old.

The son is 7 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+26=3x

The x represents the son.

To solve for x:

-26=x-3x

-26=-2x

x=13

Since the father will be 3 times his son's age in six years we subtract 6.

x=7

This means the son is 7 years old as of right now. To find the father's age you do 7+26=33
