Let
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Michael = m
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of father = f
\n" ); document.write( "michael is 25 years younger than his father
\n" ); document.write( "m=f-25.........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of their ages is 53
\n" ); document.write( "m+f=53
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of m from (1) to above equation
\n" ); document.write( "f-25+f=53
\n" ); document.write( "2f-25=53
\n" ); document.write( "2f=53+25
\n" ); document.write( "2f=78
\n" ); document.write( "2f/2=78/2
\n" ); document.write( "f=39
\n" ); document.write( "Put the value of f in (1)
\n" ); document.write( "m=f-25.........(1)
\n" ); document.write( "m=39-25
\n" ); document.write( "m=14\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Present age of Michael = m = 14 years old
\n" ); document.write( "Present age of father = f = 39 years old\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
