A mother is 21 years older than her daughter. Six years from now, the mother will be 5 times as old.

Question: where is the father?

If I understand correctly, the father is in the mother?

Let's call the daughters age a. The mom is a + 21.

In 6 years, the mother will be 5 times as old as the daughter. The daughter being a + 6 and the mom being a + 27:

5 x (a + 6) = a + 27
5a + 30 = a + 27
4a = -3

a = -0,75

So, it is nine months before the birth of the daughter, being the moment of conception, so, yes Ron. Well done!

I used a table of values, but the equation is more elegant.

Which is a solution that is equally valid.

I had the right idea, but made a simple math error. DOH! #-o


I would probably have thought I got it right on one of Robbie's multiple choice tests. :lol:

If it was an obvious error, it probably would have been one of the choices.

The results of the test were quite consistent with those of the normal tests. It was a bit too hard, so I've learned there should be a few more simple questions. We'll probably do it this way more often.

Now you are the clever guy!!! Less time on grading. More time on music, cheese, and studio renovation. You set the priorities as to when to engage in each of these activities. (is "cheese" an activity?)

I just assumed a few of the (too) many speakers were fake...for the private stock.
