Answer provided by our tutors
let
f = the age of the father
d = the age of the daughter
a man is ten times as older as his daughter
f = 10d
in 5 years time he will be 5 times as old as his daughter
f + 5 = 5(d + 5)
by solving the system of equations
f = 10d
f + 5 = 5(d + 5)
we find
f = 40 years
d = 4 years
