Answer 1

Answer:

Father's age = 64 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mummy's age = Aliyah's age + 32

Father's age = Mummy's age + 8

Tota age = 144

Find:

Father's age

Computation:

Assume;

Aliyah's age = a

So,

Mummy's age = a + 32

Father's age = a + 32 + 8

Father's age = a + 40

Aliyah's age + Mummy's age + Father's age = Total age

a + a + 32 + a + 40 = 144

3a + 72 = 144

3a = 144 - 72

3a = 72

a = 24

Father's age = a + 40

Father's age = 24 + 40

Father's age = 64 years
