Question

Five years ago, a father
was 3 times as old as his
son. Now, their combined
ages amount to 110 years.
What is the present age of the father.​

Answer 1

Answer:

here is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let father’s age be x, let son’s age be y.

x + y = 110

5 years ago, ages were

x- 5, y - 5

Hence, x - 5 = 3(y - 5)

Hence, x - 3y = -10

Hence, 4y = 120

Hence, son is 30 and father is 80
