Answer 1

Answer:

45 YEARS

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jacob’s age = x years

His fathers’s age = 3x years

After 5 years

Jacob’s age = x + 5

Father’s age = 3x + 5

Sum of their age = 70

X + 5 + 3x + 5 = 70

4x + 10 = 70

4x = 60

X = 15

Jacob’s age = 15 years and his father’s age

= 3(15)

= 45 years
