fathers age is 3 times the sum of ages of his 2 children .after 5 yrs his age will be twice the sum of ages of his 2 children .find age of father.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let age of 1 child be x

Therefore ages of two children is x+x =2x

age of father after 5 year =6x+5

we get equation,

6x+5=2x

4x=-5

x=-5/4
