Answer 1

Answer:

let the age of girl be x years

and father be (x+ 28)

ATQ

x + x + 28 = 50

2x = 50-28

2x = 22

x= 11

father's age = (x + 28)= 11+ 28 = 39

hope it will help you

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the father's age be x years

Hence, girl's age = (x - 28) years

According to the given condition:

x + (x- 28)= 50

2x - 28 = 50

2x = 50 + 28

2x = 78

$\therefore x = \frac{78}{2}\\</p><p>\therefore x = 39\\</p><p>\therefore x - 28 = 39 - 28 = 11$

Therefore,

Father's age = 39 years.

Girl's age = 11 years.
