Answer:
75years
Explanation:
Let the Father's age be represented by 2x
Let the Son's age be represented by x
Five years ago;
Man's age will be = 2x - 5
Son's age will be = x - 5
If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then;
2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4
4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)
8x - 20 = 9x - 45
- Collect like terms
-20 + 45 = 9x - 8x
25 = x
Hence, the son's age = 25 years
If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50years
The sum of their ages will be = 25years + 50years = 75years
