Question

the sum of three times of the age of son and the age of his father is 110. if three times the age of his father is added to the age of son we get 170 . then what is the sum of their ages and find their ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the age of the son be x and the age of the father be y

3x+y=110 (eq 1)

x+3y=170 (eq 2)

Find y in eq 1

3x+y=110

y=110-3x

Substitute in eq 2

x+3y=170

x+3 (110-3x) = 170

x+330-9x = 170

-8x=170-330

-8x=-160

x=20

The son in 20 years old

Substitute x=20 in eq 1

3x+y=110

3 (20)+y=110

60+y=110

y=50

The father is 50 years old

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3S + F = 110

S+ 3F= 170

on solving F= 50 ,S = 20

Sum=70

hope so you got it
