Question

Father's age is 6 more than thrice the age of son. Convert the statement into linear equation in two variable.

• A. $6+3x=y$, where $x$ is age of son and $y$ is age of father.
• B. $3y-6=x$, where $x$ is age of son and $y$ is age of father
• C. $x+3y=6$ where $x$ is age of son and $y$ is age of father

Answer 1

The correct option is A $6+3x=y$, where $x$ is age of son and $y$ is age of father.

Let age of son be $x$ and that of father be $y$.
Given that father's age is 6 more than thrice the age of son.
$\Rightarrow y=3x+6$
$\Rightarrow 6+3x=y$
This will be the linear equation of above statement.
