A grandfather is ten times older than his granddaughter. He is also 54 years older than her. Find their present age.
Let the present age of granfather = x years
∴ Present age of granddaughter = years
According to the condition, we have
[Present age of granddaughter] + 54 = x
or
Transposing 54 to RHS and x to LHS, we have
or
or
or [Multiplying both sides by 10]
or [Dividing both sides by -9]
or
and
∴ Present age of grandfather = 60 years
Present age of granddaughter = 6 years
