Step-by-step explanation:

Let grandson's age be x.

Let grandpa's age be y {equation : y = 8+5x}

so,

x + y = 88

or, x + 8+ 5x = 88 (substituting the value of y)

or, 6x + 8 =88

or, 6x = 88-8

or, 6x = 80

or, x = 80/6

so, x = 13.33

so grandson's age = 13.33

grandpa's age = 8 + 5x = 8 + (5×13.33) = 74.65 yrs

Novay_Z [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the two digit number is 10x + y, where x is the first digit and y is the second digit.

The sum of the digits is 8:

x + y = 8

If 8 is subtracted from the number, the digits switch place.

10x + y − 8 = 10y + x

Simplify the second equation:

9x − 8 = 9y

Substitute from the first equation.

y = 8 − x

9x − 8 = 9 (8 − x)

9x − 8 = 72 − 9x

18x = 80

x = 4.444

There's a problem.  x isn't an integer.  Are you sure you copied the problem correctly?  Perhaps you meant if 18 is subtracted from the number, the digits switch place.

9x − 18 = 9 (8 − x)

9x − 18 = 72 − 9x

18x = 90

x = 5

y = 8 − x

y = 3

So the number is 53.
