Question

Anil is $\mathrm{x}$ years old. Express the following in algebraic form.

What is his father's age, if he is $15\mathrm{yr}$ more than double of Anil's age?

Answer 1

Given, Anil's age $=\mathrm{x}\mathrm{yr}$

Double of Anil's age $=2\mathrm{x}\mathrm{yr}$

$15\mathrm{yr}$ more than double of Anil's age $=(2\mathrm{x}+15)\mathrm{yr}$

Therefore, algebraic expression for age of Anil's father is $(2\mathrm{x}+15)\mathrm{yr}$.
