(N/A) Let the present age of Aftab be $x$ and the present age of his daughter be $y$.
Seven years ago:
Age of Aftab $= x - 7$
Age of his daughter $= y - 7$
According to the problem,$(x - 7) = 7(y - 7) \implies x - 7 = 7y - 49 \implies x - 7y = -42$ $...(1)$
Three years from now:
Age of Aftab $= x + 3$
Age of his daughter $= y + 3$
According to the problem,$(x + 3) = 3(y + 3) \implies x + 3 = 3y + 9 \implies x - 3y = 6$ $...(2)$
Algebraic representation:
$x - 7y = -42$
$x - 3y = 6$
For $x - 7y = -42$,we have $x = 7y - 42$:
$x$$-7$$0$$7$
$y$$5$$6$$7$

For $x - 3y = 6$,we have $x = 3y + 6$:
$x$$6$$3$$0$
$y$$0$$-1$$-2$
