Answer 2

Correct Question

A man's age is 45 years. He is 5 years older than twice his son's age. Find the age of the son.

Step By Step Explanation

Let the age of son be x.

The age of man is 45.

It is given that man is 5 years older than twice of his son. So, we can write it as 5+2x

Therefore, according to the condition, we have

⟹ 5+2x = 45

Transposing 5 to RHS and subtracting.

⟹ 2x = 45 - 5

We can write it as.

⟹ 2x = 40

Dividing to find value of x.

⟹ x = 40/2

Cancelling to get 20.

⟹ x = 20.

Hence,

• Age of son = x = 20years.
