Problema Solution

two years ago ram was thrice as old as his daughter and six years later he will be four years older than twice her age.how old are they now?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let


x = the age of Ram at the moment

y = the age of his daughter at the moment


x - 2 = 3*(y - 2)

x + 6 = 4 + 2*(y + 6)


By solving the system of equations we find


x = 38 years


y = 14 years


Ram is 38 years old and his daughter is 34 years old.
