Question

the sum of the father's Age and son's age is 50. If the father's Age is reduced to half and added to the four times of son's age, the sum is 60. Find the age of the son.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the father is 40 years old and the son is 15 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Currently,  if father's age is x and son's age is y,

then given, x+2y=70 --- (1)

2x+y=95 --- (2)

Multiplying equation  (1) with 2 we get, 2x+4y=140 --- (3)

Subtracting equation (2) from (3), we get 3y=45⇒y=15

Substituting y=15 in the equation (2), we get

2x+15=95⇒x=40

Hence, the father is 40 years old and the son is 15 years old.
