Answer 2

Given,

Three years ago the sum of ages of a father and his son was 14 years.

To find,

After two years sum of ages of the father and his son.

Solution,

• Let the current age of the father be x, and the current age of the son be y.

• Three years ago the age of the father was x-3.

• Three years ago the age of his son would be y-3.

• It is given that three years ago the sum of the ages of a father and his son was 14 years. So, according to the equation we get,

             ⇒x-3 + y-3 = 14

             ⇒x + y - 6 = 14.

             ⇒x + y =20.

• Hence, the sum of father and son present age is 20.

• After two years the age of the father would be x+2 and the age of the son would be y+2.

• Their combined age after 2 years would be

             ⇒x+2 + y +2

             ⇒x+y+4

• We have already found the value of x+ y that is 20.

• Hence, x +y + 4⇒ 20 +4 = 24

Hence, after two years sum of ages of the father and his son will be​ 24 years.
