Question

1. Max's age is 2 more than his father's age divided by 4. Max is 13 years old. How old is his dad? please show the equation

Answer 1

let max age = x and fathers = y

x =( y/5 ) + 2
x = 13

so
13 = ( y/5 ) + 2
y/5 = 11
y = 55
his father is 55

Answer 2

Suppose max father age is 5x, and age of max is y:

So,

\(y = x + 2\)

\(y = 13\) (Given)

So,

\(x = 13 - 2 = 11\)

So his father age is : \(5x = 5 \times 11 = 55\)
