Mathematics
1 answer:

Answer:

40 years and 20 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be y and son's age x

Father is currently twice son's age i.e 2x

16 years ago, the son was (x-16) years old

the father was (y-16) or (2x-16) years old.........(i)

The second sentence states that the father was 6 times his sons age 16 years ago i.e 6(x-16)yrs old.............(ii)

Equating (i) to (II) gives 2x-16 = 6(x-16)

2x-16 = 6x-96

Collecting like terms, 96-16 = 6x-2x, 80 = 4x, x = 20

Therefore, son's age is 20years and fathers age is twice son's age = 40 years

<u>Another way to answer this is by breaking the number given as follows:</u>
432 = 400 + 30 + 2

The next question: Substitute x for 49 (the number of months the tire was used) and solve for y.
