Question

“I have a dog called Eight Ball. 4 years ago I was 11 times as old as my dog. Now I am 6 times as old" How old is he?

Answer 1

y -4 = 11(d-4) = 11d -44

y = 11d -40 =6d

5d = 40

d = 40/5 = 8 years old dog today

y = 48 years old today

48 = 6x8

4 years ago you were 44 and 8ball was 4 years old 44 = 11x4
