Question 239790: 16. The sum of Father and son’s age is 60 years. Six years ago the age of fa-ther is twice the son ‘s age, then the current age of the father is? Answer by College Student(505) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If six years ago their ages were:

2x = dad
And six years later their sum is 60 years, the equation becomes:
Now solve for x, then multiply by 2 and add 6 to find dad's current age.
