Question 1061369: please help me solve this:
a man is 22 years older than his son. in 8 years, the sum of their ages will be 102. how old is each? Answer by Edwin McCravy(20055) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a man is 22 years older than his son. in 8 years, the sum of their ages will be 102. how old is each?
Son's age now = S
Man's age now = S+22
Son's age in 8 years = S+8
Man's age in 8 years = (S+22)+8
in 8 years, the sum of their ages will be 102.
| | | | |
(S+22)+8 + S+8 = 102
(S+22)+8+S+8 = 102
You solve that for S, the son's age now, then
add 22 to find the age of the father.
