Question 278342
Sum of present ages of a man and his son is 60 years. Five years ago the mans age was 4 times his sons age. Then find their present ages.

Let the son's age be x

Father's age will be 60-x

5 years ago

(60-x) -5 = (x-5) *4

300-5x -5= 4x-20

300+20-5=4x+5x

315= 9x
x=25 years

FAther's age = 60-25 = 35.
