Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

20yrs for his son

30+20=50

Answer 2

Answer:

sons age is 10

father age is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

let sons age be X

father is 30 yrs older than his son

therefore father age is X+30

by sum,

sum of their ages is 50

so, (30+X)+X=50

30+2X=50

2X=50-30=20

X=20/2=10

Therefore sons age is 10

father age is X+30

10+30

40
