Answer:

Son = 25 years old

Father = 50 years old


Explanation:

Son = x

Father = 2x


Their difference in age is 25 years

2x - x = 25

x = 25


x = 25 years old

2x = 2(25) = 50 years old

Answer:

The age of the father is 50. The age of the son is 25.

Explanation:

The difference is always the son's age, and only one number works for 25, and that's 50.

x = 25
