Swena is 29 years younger than her father and 26 years older than her son. The sum of the ages
of all three is 135 years. What is the age of each one of them?
Answers
let, son's age = x
Swena's age = (x+26)
Swena's father's age = (x+26+29)
According to question,
Sum of their age,
x+(x+26)+(x+26+29) = 135
(x+x+26+x+26+29) = 135
(3x+81) = 135
3x = 135-81
x = 54/3
x = 18
So,
Son's age = 18
Swena's age = 44
Swena's father's age = 73.

To Find:
➻ Their ages.
_____________________________________________
Solution:
↦ Let the age of Sweena's son = x
↦ Sweena's age = x + 26
↦ Sweena's father age = (x+26+29) = x + 55
_____________________________________________
According to question:
⇒ x + (x+26) + (x+55) = 135
⇒ x + x+26 + x+55 = 135
⇒ 3x + 81 = 135
⇒ 3x = 54
⇒ x = 54 / 3
⇒ x = 18
_____________________________________________
↦ The age of Sweena's son = 18 years
↦ The age of Sweena = x + 26
⇒ 18 + 26
⇒ 44 years
The age of Sweena's father = x + 55
⇒ 18 + 55
⇒ 73 years
_____________________________________________
Sum of all ages:
18 + 44 +73 = 135
