A boy is years old. His father is 5 more than 2 times his age. The sum of

their ages is 50 years. Find the age of the boy.



(a) 15 years (b) 35 years

(c) 30 years (d) 45 years​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 15 is the age of boy

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of boy be x

therefore the age of his father will be 2x +5

x +2x+5 =50

3x +5 = 50

3x=50-5

3x =45

x=45/3

x =15

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the Age of Boy be x Yrs

Let the Age of Father be 2x+5 Yrs

Sum of Their age is 50 Yrs

(2x+5)+(x)=50

(3x+5)=50

(3x)=50-5

(3x)=45

(x)=45/3

x=15

Age of Boy = 1x

So,

1*15

=15 Yrs
