The age of a man is 42 years more than the age of his daughter. If the sum of
their ages is 90 years, find the age of the daughter and the father.​

Answer 1

Answer:

let daughter's age be x

then, man's age = ( x + 42)

therefore,

x + x + 42 = 90

2x = 90 - 42

2x = 48

x = 24

daughters age = 24

man's age = 24 + 42 = 66

Answer 2

The answer is 24
Step by step explanation:
let daughter age be x
The man’s age=42+x

Equation formed:
42+x+x=90
42+2x=90
2x=48
X=24
