The repeated identity is the age of Oliver's daughter. LCM of 1 and 5 is 5.
The difference in age between Oliver and Oliver's daughter remains unchanged.
Difference in age between Oliver and Oliver's daughter
= 10 u - 5 u
= 5 u
5 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 5 = 6
His nephew's present age
= 3 u - 9
= 3 x 6 - 9
= 18 - 9
= 9
Oliver's present age
= 10 u - 9
= 10 x 6 - 9
= 60 - 9
= 51
