Question

Age of duaghter is 2 years more than that of son.Age of father is three times that of son.If sum of ages of duaghter and father is 62. Find their ages?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Son = 12

Daughter = 14

Father = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's age be x

So, daughter's age = 2 + x

Father's age = 3x

Now lets form an equation

3x + 2 + x + x = 62

3x + x + x = 62 - 2

3x + x + x = 60

3x + 1x + 1x = 60

5x = 60

x = 60 ÷ 5

x = 12

2 + x = 12 + 2 = 14

3x = 12 x 3 = 36
