You can put this solution on YOUR website! A man is twice as old as his son. If 9 years ago the sum of their ages was 66 years, what is their present ages.
--------------------
Equations::
f = 2s
f-9 + s-9 = 66
--------------------
Substitute for "f" and solve for "s"::
2s-9 + s - 9 = 66
3s - 18 = 66
3s = 84
----
s = 28 son's age now
----
f = 2s = 56 father's age now
