50
60
70
80

Respuesta :

The present age  of the man is 70

What are the linear equations that represent the question?

a = 2b equation 1

105 = a + b equation 2

Where:

  • a = man's age
  • b = sum of his son's age

What is the man's present age?

Substitute for a in equation 2

105 = 2b + b

105 = 3b

3b = 105

b = 35

Substitute for b in equation 1 : a = 2 x 35 = 70
