ten years ago a man's age was 6 times the age of his son 12 years later the age of the Son will be 27 years what is the present age of his father

Respuesta :

From this problem let's begin with some notation: Let the man age denoted by M. With the info provided we can do this:

Son age = 27-12= 15

Finally with the condition given we can createthe following equation:

[tex]M-10=6(15-10)[/tex]

And solving for M we got:

[tex]M=6\cdot(5)+10=40[/tex]

So then basically the answer for the men age is 40 years
