• x+3x+(6x+40)=1240
  =>x=120.............so age of Alchemerion is 120*3=360................

• let Alchemerion be A
  let son be S
  let father be F
  A= 3* S
  F= 40 +(2*A)
  
  therefore 1240=(S+F+A)
  1240=(A/3)+ (40+(2*A) )+ A
  A=360

• 360
  let son age x... then
  x+3x+(2*3x)+40=1240
  x=120

• ha just lokk at the question you have 3 persons
  father,alchmrn,son
  lets father=f; son=s;alchermerion=a
  f=40+2a;
  a=3s
  a+s+f=1240
  3s+s+40+2(3s)
  4s+40+6s=1240
  10s+40=1240
  10s=1200
  s=120
  a=360.

• Let the age of alchemerion son be x. so his age is 3x.
  his father's age 40+2(3x)=40+6x
  x+3x+40+6x=1240
  x=120
  therefore 3*120=360 is ans

• x+3x+6x+40=1240
  x=120
  120*3=360

• sons age : x
  alchemerion age : 3x
  alchemerian father age :40+6x
  x+3x+40+6x=1240
  10x=1200
  x=120
  therefore ans is 3x=3*100 = 300

• let alchemerion's age be x,his son's be y and his father's be y
  given that,x=3y
  z=40+2x
  x+y+z=1240
  x+x/3+40+2x=1240
  10x=1240-120
  x=112

• sons + father's + father father's
  (F/3)+(F)+(2F+40)=1240
  F=40
• 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(4)
• if we assume some X is alchemerion age
  his son age = X/3
  his father age = 2X+40
  so finally, X+X/3+2X+40 = 1240
  3X+x+6x+120 = 1240
  10X=1120
  X = 1120/10
  Hence X = 112 = alchemerion's age

• given that age of father is 40 more than twice of alchemerions age i.e 40+2F
  F=2S
  => 40+2F+3S+S=1240
  => 40+2(3S)+4S=1240
  => 10S=1240
  => S=120
  now the age is 120*3=360.
