Question 1049313
Let's call the son x and the father y
y = x+19 we'll use this value for y next
y+10 = 2(x+10)
x+19+10 = 2x+20
x+29 = 2x+20 subtract x and 20 on both sides
9 = x
or 
x = 9 this is how old Pat is.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Check:
the father is 19 years older than the son:
9+19 = 28
In 10 years he will be twice as old as the son:
28+10 = 38 is the father. And the son:
2*(9+10) = 38 Correct
