Question

If twice the son’s age in years is added to the father’s age, the sum is 70. But if twice

the father’s age is added to the son’s age, the sum is 95. Find the ages of father and

son​

Answer 1

Answer:

son age is 15 & father age is 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be son and y be father.

2x+y=70 ...eqn_1

2y+x=95 ...eqn_2

x=95-2y

substitute x in eqn_1

2(95-2y)+y=70

190-3y=70

3y=190-70

y=40

then x=95-2(40)

x=15
