please dont give wrong answers ​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the present age if father is x years

and the present age of son is y years

so,

x+2y=70, x=70-2y

again ,

2x+y=95

putting the value of x ,

2(70-2y)+y=95

=> 140-4y+y=95

=> 140-95=4y-y

=> 45=3y

=> y=45/3=15

x=70-2y=70-2.15=70-30=40

so the present age of father is 40 years and the present age of son is 15 years
