Can you help with these math problems.....?

Question

Can you show me how to do them and what the answer is
1.A pensioner remembered that he was sent to school when he was 4 1/2 years of age, and he stayed at the same school for 1/6 of his life. Then he remained in the army for 1/5 of his life as a clerk, and when he left the army he spent 1/4 of his life as a clerk. At present he had already spent 1/3 of his in retirement. What is the pensioner's age?
2.
Determine all the values of x and y such that xy, x/y, and x-y are all equal.

Answer 1

#1 is 45 ... i think

#2 is possible

x = -1/2 and y = -1

Answer 2

(1/6 + 1/5 + 1/4 + 1/3 ) *x + 9/2 = x
=> x ( 1- (1/6 + 1/5 + 1/4 + 1/3 ) ) = 9/2
=> x * 0.05 = 9/2
=> x = 90

Q2. xy=x/y => y^2=1
x-y = xy =>x(y-1)=y => x = y/(y-1)

x = infinity, y , arbitrary

Answer 3

his current age should be 38 4/7

if u set his current age as x, and solve it algebraically

Answer 4

well you see should would be..........about 27 and 5 months and 21 days old there was a decimal but i let it out

Answer 5

I think its 29....

Answer 6
