Question 1046988: A man is currently 26 years older than his son. Twelve years from the current time, the man will be twice as old as his son. What is the current age of the father? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Now
Let x represent son's age
Father (x+26)
In two years...
(x+26) + 12 = 2(x+ 12)
x + 38 = 2x + 24
14 = x son's age NOW. Father is 40.
And..in 12 years...
52= 2*26 Checks!
