9(G -7)  = D -7

6(G - 4) = D - 4

 

9G - 63  = D - 7    →   D =  9G - 56

6G -24  = D - 4    →   D =  6G   -20

 

9G   -56  =  6G   - 20

 

3G  =  36

 

G = 12

 

D  = 6(12) - 20  =   52

 d−4=5(g−4)................(1)

d==5(g - 4) + 4

 

d−7=8(g−7)................(2)

5(g - 4) + 4 - 7==8(g - 7)

5g - 20 + 4 - 7==8g - 56

56 - 20 + 4 - 7==8g - 5g

33 == 3g

g==33/3==11 - sub this into (2) above

 

d - 7==8(11 - 7)

d - 7 ==32

d ==32 + 7 ==39 years - his dad's current age.
