Question 332194: rendell father is 9times as old as he is.one year before he was 2years more that eleven times as old as rendell.find rendell present age. Answer by mananth(16949) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let rendell's age be x
father's age = 9x.
..
1 year ago their ages were
x-1
9x-1
..
9x-1=11(x-1)+2
9x-1=11x-11+2
9x-11x=-11+1+2
-2x=-8
x=4 Rendell's age now
father's age = 9*4=36 years
