Step-by-step explanation:
Let Father's age be x
Let Son's age be y
- According to condition ¹
- x+y=64......¹
- According to condition ²
- 2x-2y=2x+2y
- -2y and 2y gets cancelled
- 2x=2x.......²
- 2x-y=0....²
- x+y=64. (subtract eq ² from ¹)
- x=-64
- Substitute value in equation ¹
- -64+y=64
- y=64+64
- y=128
