a father is 32 years older that his daughter. in 4 years, the father will be 5 times as old as his daughter. What are their present ages
**
Daughter's present age=x
Father's present age=32+x
4 yrs hence:
Daughter's =x+4
Father's age=32+x+4=36+x
36+x=5(x+4)=5x+20
4x=16
x=4
x+32=36
ans:
Daughter's present age=4
Father's present age=36
