Question

mans mans is three times the age of his son . if the sum of their ages is 68 years, find their ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a simple algebra word problem.

You can solve this using the equation 48=x+3x where x= the son’s age.

48=x+3x

48=4x

12=x

This means that the son is 12 years old. Multiply 12 by 3 to get the man’s age, which makes the man 36 years old.

To check your work, you can add their ages together, which gets 48, proving the answer to be correct to the word problem, and not just algebraically correct.

That makes the son 12 years old, and the man 36.
