Question 912115: If the father is five years older than the mother and the child is half the mother's age and all in all they add up to a 100..how old is each of them..? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x mother's age
(x+5) + x + x/2 = 100
2(x+5) + 2x + x = 200
5x = 190
x = 38, mother's age. Dad is 43 and child is 19
and...checking
sum = 100
