Question

sum of father's age and twice the age of his son is 79.if se double the age of father and add to it the age of his son the sum is 95.find their present ages​

Answer 1

Let father's age be x, and son's age be y.

Now,

x+2y=79

Also,

2x+y=95

4x+2y=190

Subtracting,

3x=190-79

3x= 111

x=37

y=79-x/2 = 42/2 = 21

Father is 37 years old, son is 21 years old.

Answer 2

Let the age of father be x and that of son be y

x+2y=79

2x+y=95

x= 37 and y= 21
