2r + 2s = 50
2r - s = 17
-----------subtract
3s = 33
s = 11
2r - s = 17
2r - 11 = 17
2r = 28
r = 14
so r = 14 and s = 11
answer is C. r = 14, s = 11
Answer:
<em>Hence the daughter's present age is 15 years</em>
<em>The fathers present age is 35 years</em>
<em></em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of daughter be x
Let the present age of father be y
5 years ago;
Daughter's age = x - 5
Fathers age = y - 5
If the present age of father is thrice as old as the age of daughter 5 years ago, then;
y - 5 = 3(x-5)
y - 5 = 3x-15
y = 3x - 10 .... 1
In 5 years time;
Daughters age = x + 5
Fathers age = y + 5
If the age of father will be twice the age of his daughter in 5 years time then;
y+5 = 2(x+5)
y+5 = 2x + 10
y = 2x + 5 .....2
Equate 1 and 2;
3x - 10 = 2x + 5
3x - 2x = 5 + 10
x = 15
Since y = 2x + 5
y = 2(15) + 5
y = 35
<em>Hence the daughter's present age is 15 years</em>
<em>The fathers present age is 35 years</em>
<em></em>
6(x-17) it is disturbing 6
it is 6x-102 or 6x-6.17
so the answer is C
