A mother is exactly 21 years older than her son. Six years from now, her age will be exactly 5 times the son's age.
The question is:
Where is the father now?

4. I'll do this a day late: |
|
x=21+y (x+6)=5(y+6)
substituting in:
21+y+6=5y+30
subtracting around...
4y=-3 y=-3/4 of a year ---> or -9 months old.
:D
