Question 1141491
Man's age = m
Son's age = s
<pr>
Make two equations:
m = s + 24
m - 3 = (s + 3) - 8
<pr>
Simplify:
m = s + 24
m - 3 = s - 5
<pr>
Move variables to the left and numbers to the right:
m - s = 24
m - s = - 2
<pr>
Since both equations say m - s equal different amounts, there is no solution to this problem.
