Question

the sum of fathers age and twice the age of his son is 70. if we double the age of the father and add it to age of his son the sum is 95. find their present ages.

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

Let the age of father be x and son's age be y.

According to the question,

X + 2y=70
________________eq.1

2x+y=95
________________eq.2.

Solving both the equations ,

Multiplying equation 1 with 2,
2x+4y=140
2x+ y = 95
___________
3y =45
Y=45/3
Y=15

Substitute the value of y in equation 1 to get the value of x.

X+2y=70
X+2x15=70
X+30=70
X=70-30
X=40

Therefore,the age of son is 15 and father is 40.
