John’s father is 5 times older than John and John is twice as old as his sister Alice. In two years time, the sum of their ages

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

John’s age is 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> John’s father's age

y -----> John’s age

z -----> John’s sister's age

we know that

$x=5y$ -----> equation A

$y=2z$

$z=y/2$ -----> equation B

$(x+2)+(y+2)+(z+2)=58$

$x+y+z+6=58$

$x+y+z=52$ -----> equation C

Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for y

$5y+y+y/2=52$

Multiply by 2 both sides to remove the fraction

$10y+2y+y=104$

$13y=104$

$y=8$

<em>Find the value of x</em>

$x=5(8)=40$

<em>Find the value of z</em>

$z=8/2=4$

therefore

John’s father's age is 40 years

John’s age is 8 years

John’s sister's age is 4 years
