Answer:
Age of Jake = 9 and age of dad = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that,Jake’s dad is 6 more than 3 times Jake’s age. The sum of their age is 42
To find the ages
Let x be the Jake's age, then age of dad = 3x + 6
Sum of their age = 42
⇒ x + 3x + 6 = 42
4x = 42 - 6 = 36
x = 36/4 = 9
Therefore age of Jake = 9
Age of dad = 3x + 6 = 3*9 + 6 = 33
