Question 1
Madeline is 3 times as old as his son Amelia. After 6 years, the sum of their ages will be 56. How old is Amelia now?
Let son's age = x, then father's age = 3x
After 6 years: (3x+6) + (x+6) = 56
(3+1)x + 12 = 56
(4)x = 44
x = 11
After 6 years: (3x+6) + (x+6) = 56
(3+1)x + 12 = 56
(4)x = 44
x = 11
