pls explain with full steps​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the ages of the children be x

then the age of father = 2x

after 20 years age of father = 2x+20

since there are 2 childern therefore age of 2 children after 20 yrs = x+40

Step-by-step explanation:

now, x+40 = 2x +20

= 40-20 = 2x - x

= 20=x

therfore, age of father = 20 yrs.
