Belinda is now 7 years old and Maniratu is 42 years old.
Let's assume the daughter is x years old now. That means that Maniratu is now (35 + x) years old. We are given that the Maniratu is also 6 times as old as his daughter now, which means that he is now 6x years old.
Setting the two equations equal:
( 35 + x ) = 6x
We can solve the equation for the current age of his daughter.
35 = 5x
x = 35 / 5
x = 7 years old
To check our work, if her daughter is now 7 years old and Maniratu is also aged 7 years. So Maniratu is now 42 years old, which is indeed 6 times the age of his daughter (42 / 7 = 6).
