Fabian is
h years old. Caden is six times as old as Fabian and Flynn is 14 years younger than Caden.
- Express Flynn's age in terms of h.
- Fabian is 10 years old as of now. ln how many years' time will Flynn be 4 times as old as Fabian?
(a)
Fabian's age =
h years
Caden's age = 6
h years
Flynn's age = (6
h - 14) years
(b)
h = 10
Difference in age remains unchanged.
Difference in age between Flynn and Fabian
= (6
h - 14) -
h = 6
h -
h - 14
= 5
h - 14
= 5 x 10 - 14
= 36 years
Difference in the age when Flynn will be 4 times as old as Fabian
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
3 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 3 = 12
Number of years' time so Flynn will be 4 times as old as Fabian
= 12 - 10
= 2 years
Answer(s): (a) (6
h - 14) years; (b) 2 years
