in two years, Mr.Victoria will be thrice the age of his son bing. six years ago, he was five times bing's age. how old is each at present?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
v = the age of Mr. Victoria
b = the age of Bing
in two years, Mr.Victoria will be thrice the age of his son bing
v + 2 = 3(b + 2)
six years ago, he was five times Bing's age
v - 6 = 5(b - 6)
by solving the system of equation
v + 2 = 3(b + 2)
v - 6 = 5(b - 6)
we find
v = 46 years
b = 14 years
