-> SOLUTION: I am currently 5 times as old as my son.
In 6 years time i will be three times as old as he will be then.
What are our ages now?
Log On
In 6 years time I will be (I+6) three (3) times as old as he
will be then (S+6).
I+6 = 3(S+6)
Substitute 5S for I
5S+6 = 3(S+6)
Solve that for S and that will be the age of my son.
Then substitute what you get for S in
I = 5S
to find my age I.
