Question

The age of the father is twice the sum of the ages of his 2 children. After 20 years, his agewill be equal to the sum of the ages of his children. Find the age of the father.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sum of his kids age be X years

So his current age = 2X

After 20 years,

Sum of kids age = X +40

Age of father = 2X +20

A.T.Q,

Age of father = combined age of kids = X+40

2x+20=x+40

X=20

So father current age = 2x = 40 years
