Question 566001: mr. santos is 30 years older than his son. how old are the father and the son if the father is 15 yeaRS less than 4 times as old as his son. Answer by ad_alta(240) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the father's age be 'f' and the son's age 's.' Then s+30=f and f+15=4s. Substituting the first equation into the second we get (s+30)+15=4s. This gives s=15 and f=45.
