Answer 1

Hey!

Let the girl's age be x yrs
Let the father's age be (x+28) yrs

Btp,

x+x+28 = 50

=> 2x = 50-28

=> 2x = 22

=> x = 11

Answer => Girl's age is 11 years
Father's age is (11+28) = 39 years

Hope this helps...

Answer 2

Given :

A girl is 28 years younger than her father sum of their age's is 50.

To find:

The ages of the girl and her father?

Solution :

Let her father's age is X

Let the girl's age is X - 28

Given sum = 50

According to the given question :

=> x+ x-28 = 50

=> 2x-28= 50

=> 2x = 50+28

=> 2x = 78

=> X= 78/2

=> X = 39

Hence father's age is X = 39 years

Girl age is x-28 = 39-28 = 11 years.
