​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 is your answer and make me brainiest

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the ages of father and son be x and y years.

According to first condition

x=2y

According to second condition

x+5=55

x=55-5=50

But,

x=2y

y=50/2=25

Age of son 5years ago

=y-5

=25-5

=20.

Age of son 5 years ago was 20 years.
