write an equation for each statement
Age difference between father and son is 35 years and 4 month
f - s = 354%2F12 yrs
together their age is 75 years then
f + s = 75
what will be the age of father and son.
add the two equation
f - s = 354%2F12yrs
f + s = 75
-------------- adding eliminates s find f
2f = 1104%2F12 years
divide both sides by 2
f = 552%2F12
Dad is 55 yrs 2 months old
:
Find the age of the son
75 - 552%2F12 = 1910%2F12
19 yrs 10 months the age of the son
