<PRE><B>Question 575149</B>
When Ricky was 10 years old, his father was 45.How many years must pass for Ricky to be 5 years older than 1/5 as old as his father? 
-----
(10+x) = (1/5)(45+x)+5
---
5 + x = (1/5)(45+x)
25+5x = 45+x
4x = 20
x = 5
============
In 5 years dad will be 50
In 5 years son will be 15
