<PRE><B>Question 408429</B>
Hello, 
We can set up 2 equations for this. x represents the son and y will be the father. 
x+y=77
y=2x+32
Let do substitution. 
2x+32+x=77
Combine like terms and subtract 32 to get:
3x=45
Divide by 3 to get:
x=15
So John is 15 and the father is 62
Make sense?
