Question 923538
write an equation for each statement
Age difference between father and son is 35 years and 4 month
f - s = 35{{{4/12}}} yrs
together their age is 75 years then
f + s = 75
 what will be the age of father and son.
add the two equation
f - s = 35{{{4/12}}}yrs
f + s = 75
-------------- adding eliminates s find f
2f = 110{{{4/12}}} years
divide both sides by 2
f = 55{{{2/12}}}
Dad is 55 yrs 2 months old
:
Find the age of the son
75 - 55{{{2/12}}} = 19{{{10/12}}}
