if twice the son's age in years is added to the fathers" age the sum is 70 but if twice the father's age is added to the son's age the sum is 95 find the ages of fathes and son by elimination method

Answer»

Answer:

Age of father = 40 YEARS

Age of son = 15 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of son be x and age of father be y

Case 1 :- 2x + y = 70

Case 2 :- x + 2Y = 95

Solve these 2 equations by elimination method

2x+y=70 →(i)

2x+4y=190 →(II)

(ii) - (i)

3y = 120

y = 40 years

(i) ==> 2x +40 = 70

2x = 30

x = 15 years
