Plz help!

Answer 3

Let Aftab's present age be x and his daughter's present age be y.
Seven years ago,
Aftab's age = x-7
Daughter's age = y-7
By the given condition,
x-7 = 7 *(y-7)
Three years hence,
Aftab's age = x+3
Daughter's age = y+3
By the given condition,
x+3 = 3*(y+3)

x - 7 = 7y - 49
x + 3 = 3y + 9
On solving both the equations, you will arrive at the required answer.

K!but how to represent this situation graphically?@Spacemanifestation

Answer 5

To represent the problem graphically, you could produce a bar graph, line graph, or even a scatter chart. You could set Aftab's age as the vertical axis and his daughters age as the horizontal axis and plot the relationship between the two ages.
