Let
\n" ); document.write( "Father’s age =f
\n" ); document.write( "Son’s age=s\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Father is 13 years more than twice of his son
\n" ); document.write( "f=2s+13 …………..(1)
\n" ); document.write( "6 years ago means subtract 6 from both ages then sum which is equal to 49
\n" ); document.write( "(f-6)+(s-6)=49
\n" ); document.write( "f-6+s-6=49
\n" ); document.write( "f-12+s=49
\n" ); document.write( "f+s=49+12 ………….(2)
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of f from 1 into (2)
\n" ); document.write( "2s+13+s=61
\n" ); document.write( "3s=61-13
\n" ); document.write( "3s=48
\n" ); document.write( "s=48/3
\n" ); document.write( "s=16
\n" ); document.write( "f=2(16)+13
\n" ); document.write( "f=32+13
\n" ); document.write( "f=45
\n" ); document.write( "Father is 45 and son is 16 years old.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
