Answer 1

Solution

Given Here :-

• The sum of ages of father and his son is 53
• 8 is added with the twice of son's age it is equal to father's age.

Find :-

• Age of father & his son

Explanation

Let,

• Age of father = x years
• Age of his son = y years

A/C to question,

==> x + y = 53 ---------(1)

Again,

==> x = 2y + 8

==> x - 2y = 8 ---------(2)

Subtract equ(1) & equ(2)

==> y + 2y = 45

==> 3y = 45

==> y = 45/3

==> y = 15

Keep in equ(1)

==> x + 15 = 53

==> x = 53 - 15

==> x = 38

Hence

• Age of father be = 38 years
• Age of his son be = 15 years
