Question

Adnan’s father is 3 times as old as Adnan. If sum of their ages is 56, find their ages

Answer 1

Answer:

Adnan = 14 years old, Adnan's father = 42 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Adnan be x years old

Adnan's father = 3x years old

x + 3x = 56

4x = 56

x = 14

Adnan = 14 years old, Adnan's father = 42 years old

Answer 2

Answer:

Adnan age= x

Adnan's father age=3x

sum of their ages=56

x+3x=56

4x=56

x=56/4

x=14 is the Adnan age

her father age=3x=14×3=42

Answer = Adnan age = 14

Adnan's father age=42
