Father is 20 years older than son. if the sum of their ages is 40 years find their age​

20 is the father's 20 is the son

Step-by-step explanation:

20+20=40

40/2=20

40-20=20

another way:

20:n= 40

40-20=20

20:20=40

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of son be x

x+20=40

x=40-20

x=20

since age of a father is 20 more than his son's so,

x+20=father's age

20+20

40

therefore fathers age is fourty years and son age is 20 years
