Question

(3) The sum of father’s age and twice the age of his son is 70. If we double the age

of the father and add it to the age of his son the sum is 95. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

father 40 and son 15 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

X+2Y=70

2X+Y=95

this means

2X+4Y=140

2X+Y=95

this implies 3Y=45 . so y=15

then put in 1st equation X=40
