Answer 1

Answer:

hey here is your solution

pls mark it as brainliest

so here we go

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of father be x years and his son be y years

so according to first condition

x+5+y+5=85

ie x+y=75 (1)

according to second condition

x-5/y-5=10/3

so 3(x-5)=10(y-5)

thus 3x-15=10y-50

so 3x-10y=-35 (2)

multiply (1) by 3 we get

3x+3y=225 (3)

subtract (2) from (3)

we get

3x+3y=225

3x-10y=-35

(-) (+) (+)

_________

13y=260

so y=20

substitute value of y in any of 3 equations above

we get,,

x=55

now difference in age of father and son's age=

age of father-age of son

=55-20

=35

hence difference in age of father's and son's age is 35 years
