Answer 1

Answer: 32 years.

Step by step explanation:

To find: Age of man

Let the age of daughter be X years.

Then the age of man = (x + 23) years.

As per the question,

» x + (x + 23) = 41

» x + x + 23 = 41

» 2x + 23 = 41

» 2x = 18

» x = 9

Thus, we get value of X as 9.

Thus, Daughter's age is 9 years.

Age of man = x + 23 = 9 + 23 = 32 years.

Final answer: The age of man is 32 years.

Answer 2

x(x+23)=41
