Answers
Answer:-
Given:
• Baichung's father is 29 older than baichung's
• Baichung's grandfather is 26 years older than Baichung's father
• The sum of their ages is 135 years
Asked:
a) Age of Baichung's
b) Age of Baichung's father
c) Age of Baichung's grandfather
solve:
Baichung's age = x
Baichung's father = x + 29
Baichung's grandfather = x + 29 + 26
sum of their ages = x + x+29 + x+29+26 = 135
x + x+29 + x+55 =135
3x = 135 - 84
3x = 51
x = 17
Baichung's age: x = 17
Baichung's father age: x + 29
17 + 29 = 46
Baichung's grandfather father age: x + 29 + 26
x + 55
17 + 55 = 72
therefore:
Baichung's age = 17
Baichung's father age = 46
Baichung's grandfather age = 72
