Problema Solution

he father is 24 years old than his daughter. in 4 years he will be thrice as old as his daughter. find their present age

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the daughter's age, then 'x+24' represents the father age


(x+24+4) = 3(x+4)

solving for 'x' we have x=8


8+24 = 32


the daughter is 8 years old, the father is 32 years old
