Question 876556: The sum of the ages of 5 children is equal to the age of father. After 15 years the sum of the ages of the children will be twice the age of father. Find the age of father. Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let sum of ages of 5 children = x
father's age = 5x
after 15 years
(x+15*5)=2 (5x+15)
2x+150 = 10x+30
8x=120
/8
x=15 years
father's age =5*15 = 75 years
