Question

Mr Grover in three times as old as his son and the sum of their ages is 48 how old is each ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let his son age=x

grover age=y=3x

sum of thier age =48

x+y=48

x+3x=48

4x=48

x=12

therefore age of son is 12

age of grover =3x=3×12=36

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let mr.grover's son age be = x

mr . grover''s age =3x

sum of their ages = 48

so,

    x + 3x = 48

4x = 48

x = 48/4

x = 12years(son's age)

mr . grover's age = 3x =3*12 =36 years
