Albert's father is twice his age. AND HE IS SIX TIMES THE AGE OF HIS LITTLE SON. THE IR AGES ADD UP TO 76 YEARS. HOW OLD IS EACH?
---------------
Equations:
f = 2S
S = 6s
---------
f + S + s = 76
-----
Substitute and solve for "f"
f + (f/2) + (1/6)(1/2)f = 76
-----
Multiply thru by 12 to get:
12f + 6f + f = 12*76
19f = 12*76
f = 48 years (father's age)
father's Son = f/2 = 24 years
father's grandson = S/6 = 4 years
