Question

Mr. Grover's age is 6 more than 2 times his son's age. Sum of their age is 81 . How old is mr grover​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Mr. Grover's son be x

6+2x=81

2x=81-6

2x=75

2x=75

x=75/2=32.5

x=32.5

Age of Mr. Grover's age =x=32.5 years

Answer 2

Answer:

56 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of Grover's son be 'x'

Grover age is = 2x + 6

Sum of their ages is = 81

So,

x +( 2x + 6) = 81

3x + 6 = 81

Taking 3 as common

3(x + 2) = 81

x + 2 = 81/3

x + 2 = 27

x = 27 - 2

x = 25

Age of Mr.Grover = 2x + 6

= 2(25) +6

= 50 +6

= 56 years
