Answer 2

Answer:

Let the age of the woman be 'x' years

and the age of her son be 'y' years.

From 1 st condition,

x - y = 19........(i).

From 2 nd condition,

x + y = 37.........(ii).

Adding equation (i) and equation (ii)

x - y = 19

x + y = 37

2x = 56

x = 56/2

x = 28

Place x = 28 in equation (ii),

28 + y = 37

y = 37 - 28

y = 9

Therefore the age of the son is 9 years.
