You can put this solution on YOUR website! father tells his son,"i was two years more than your present age when you were born."
if the father is 40 years now,how old was his son 6 years ago.
:
let s = son's present age
father is 40 yrs old
"
then
"i was two years more than your present age when you were born."
40 - s = s + 2
40 - 2 = s + s
38 = 2s
s = 38/2
s = 19 yrs is son's present age
:
"old was his son 6 years ago."
19 - 6 = 13 yrs old
