Question

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

Answer 1

________________☆_______________

let the age of his son be x

So , the age of Mr.Grover will be 3x

Now , x + 3x = 48 ...(given that the sum of their age is 48)

4x = 48

x = 48/4

x = 12

Hence , the value of x is 12

therefore , the age of his son is 12

the age of Mr.Grover is 3x = 3 × 12 = 36 ________________☆_______________

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let son's age be x

So, Mr Grover's age is 3 times of his son's age that is= 3 X x =3x

We have found the son's and fathers age, as the question says, the sum of their ages is 48

The equation will be:

x(son's age) + 3x(father's age) = 48

⇒x + 3x = 48

⇒4x = 48

⇒x = 48/4

⇒x = 12

x = son's age, so the son's age is 12

Lets find the father's age:

According to the question, 3 times son's age is father's age:

So father's age is 3 X 12 = 36

FATHER'S AGE= 36

SON'S AGE = 12
