Answer 1

Answer:

father age = 37

and his son age= 5

when you sum of their ages then it will be 42 and product will be 37

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let father age =x

and son age =y

sum x+y=42 ___1

product xy=185 _______2

solution :

x = 42-y

put in eq2

(42-y)y=185

-y2 = 185- 42

-y2= 143

taking root on both side

y = -11.95

put in eq1

x=42+11.95

x=30

father 53.95

son 11.95
