\huge\sf\blue{Question:}

A girl is x years old. Her father is 5 more than 2 times her age . The sum of their ages is 50 years . Find the age of the girl and her father .

\huge\pink{Answer:}

Let the age of the girl be

x \: years

Her father is 5 more than 2 Times her age .

 = 5 + 2x

So ,

x + 5 + 2x = 50

3x + 5 = 50

3x = 50 - 5

3x = 45

x =  \frac{45}{3}

x = 15

Therefore , The girl's age is 15 years .

Now , let's find out her father's age .

 = 5 + 2x

 = 5 + 2(15) \ \\   = 5 + 2 \times 15 \\  = 5 + 30 \\  = 35

Therefore , the girl's father's age is 35 years .
