Answer 1

Answer:

son =22 Father=60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us denote the son’s age by X. Then the father’s age is X+38

So let us write down the condition in an equation form, son’s age X +father’s age X+38 =82

or

X+X+38=82 Let us solve the equation

2X=82–38=44. Then X=44/2=22.

So the son is 22 years old, the father is 22+38=60 years old.
