Question

The diffference between the ages of a woman and her son is 19 years and the sum of their ages is 37 years. Find the age of the son and the woman

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the ages of a women and her son respectively.

The difference between the age of women and her son is 19 years

x-y = 19.......(1)

sum of year age is 37 years

x+y = 37....(2)

Adding (1) & (2)

2x = 56

x = 28 years

put in (1) we get

28-y = 19

y = 9

hence,the age of son and women are 9 and 28 respectively
