Question 236806: A MAN IS 20 YEARS OLDER THAN HIS SON. IN 10 YEARS HE WILL BE TWICE AS OLD AS HIS SON WILL THEN BE, HOW OLD IS EACH?
Answer by College Student(505)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since dad is 20 years older than his son, dad must be twice as old in order for his son to be half his age.
At this point dad will be 40 and son 20. Does that make sense?
.
Now, since the problem brings you back 10 years from Dad being twice Son's age, you need to deduct 10 years from Dad and Son to find their current ages.
.
I'll let you finish it now.
