Question

A man is 40 years old and his son is 14 years old. In how many years be
father be twice as old as his son?​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 Years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the years=x

According to the question

40+x=2(14+x)

40+x=28+2x

40-28-2x-x

x=12

Verification:

After 12 years

man's age : 40 years +12 years

=52 years

son's age : 14 years+12 years

= 26 years

Hence verified 52 years is twice of 26 years
