2. A man is 40 years old and his son is 14 years old. In how many years will the father be twis
as old as his son?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Man's age = 40 +12 = 52

Sons's age = 14 + 12 = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Man's age = 40

Sons's age = 14  

Number of years = x  

Father will be = 40 + x

Son will be = 14 + x  

Twice the age of son after x years = father's age after x years

2(14+x)=40+x

28+2x=40+x

2x-x=40-28

x=12  

After 12 years father will be twice as old as his son.
