a man's age is 24 years older than his son. in 2 years his age will be twice the age of his son.find man's age

Answer 1

This is the correct answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of son be x

this implies that age of father is x+24

according to conditions

after two years age of father =x+26

age of son =x+2

according to Conditions

x+26=2(x+2)

x-2x=4-26

-x=-22

x=22

age of father =x+24=22+24=46

age of son =22

verification of solution

x+26=22+26=48

2(x+2)=2(22+2)=2×24=48
