Question

Abdul is twice as old as his son. If the sum of their ages is 90 years. find their ages.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If the son’s age is x, the father’s age is 2x.

Ten years ago:

(x - 10) + (2x - 10) = 52

3x + 20 = 52

3x = 72

x = 24

2x = 48

So the son’s age is 24 and the father’s is 48. Ten years ago, they were 14 and 38, which adds up to 52.
