Answer 1

Answer:

23

8+15=23

31+15=46

Answer 2

Answer: The age of son is 23 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Age of father = 31 years

Age of son = 8 years

So, the difference between their age is given by

$31-8\\\\=23\ years$

Now, let the age of his father be 'x'.

Let the age of his son be 'x-23'.

According to question, we get that

$x=2(x-23)\\\\x=2x-46\\\\46=2x-x\\\\46=x$

Hence, the age of his father is 46 years old and the age of his son would be

$x-23=46-23=23\ years$

Hence, the age of son is 23 years.
