Question 937842: a man's age is triple the age of his son. in eleven years the man's age would be the double of his son's age then. what are the present ages of the man and the son? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = man age now
y = son age now
---
x = 3y
x + 11 = 2(y + 11)
x + 11 = 2y + 22
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x - 3y = 0
x - 2y = 11
---
copy and paste the above standard form linear equations in to this solver:
