Answer:
let the age of the father be(y)
let the son age be (x)
2x+y=90------eq 1
x+2y=120------eq2
multiply eq 1 by 2
4x+2y=180----eq3
substract eq1 from eq3
3x=60
x=20 is the age of the son
put x=20 in eq 1
y= 50 is the age of the father

• let the age of the father be x and the age of the son be y
according to the conditions,
2y+x=70 ..............(1)
2x+y=95 ..............(2)
multiplying equation (1) into 2 we get
subtracting equation (2) from equation (3)
4y+2x=140 .........(3)
y+2x= 95
---------------
3y = 45
y=15 ..................(4)
substituting (4) in (2) we get
15 +2x=95
2x=80
x=40.
Therefore the age of the father is 40yrs and that of the son is 15
