Question

Devon is 30 years older than his son, Milan. The sum of both their ages is 48. Using the variables d and m to represent the ages of Devon and Milan, respectively, write a system of equations to describe this situation.

Answer 1

Answer+Step-by-step explanation:

m = man's age

s = son's age

m=s+36

(m+8)=3*(s+8)

Resolves to: s=10, m=46

So the man is 46 (=10+36).

In 8 years, son is 18 (=10+8), man is 54 (=3*18 and 46+8), thank you.
