Ram is 3 times old as his son and the sum of their age is 48.how old is each?

(98 points!)

Answer 1

Ram is 3 times old as his son and the sum of their age is 48.

3 times older = 3x

x = unknown number

48 = sum of the ages

3x+x=48

4x=48

x=12

now one of the sons is 12 y/o now to see how old the other one we're going to have to subtract 12 from 48

48 - 12 = 36
