Question 1147165: what is the age of each of these;if son's age is half his mother's age and mother's age is 5 years less than that of the father whereas son plus mother plus father is 100 Answer by ikleyn(52786) (Show Source):
son + mother + father = 100. (1)
son = x; mother = 2x; father = 2x+5.
Substitute it into equation (1).
x + 2x + (2x+5) = 100.
Simplify and solve for x.
