Let father age X
and Son age Y
A man is Six times old then son
6X=Y
6X-Y=0........................(eq 1)
3 year ago his 9 times then son
9(6X)-3=Y-3
54X-3=Y-3
54X-Y=0........................(eq 2)
solving eq 1 and eq 2
X=48
and Son age Y
A man is Six times old then son
6X=Y
6X-Y=0........................(eq 1)
3 year ago his 9 times then son
9(6X)-3=Y-3
54X-3=Y-3
