The age of a father is equal to the square of his daughter’s age. If one year ago, the father’s age was 8 times the daughter’s age. What would their current ages be?
A- 25 years and 5 years
B- 81 years and 9 years
C- 49 years and 7 years
D- 36 years and 6 years
E- None of these choices
Thank you for any help. I’m having a great deal of trouble with this problem. Any help would be much appreciated.
I did process of elimination and for each option subtracted one from the current values to see if one was 8x the other. A - 24 & 4 (6x) B - 80 & 8 (10x) C - 48 & 6 (8x) D - 35 & 5 (7x)
