Question

A father is 42 years old and his son is y years old. If the difference of their ages 28 years, what is the value of y?​

Answer 1

Son's age (y) = 14 years

Explanation:

According to the question,

Father's age = 42 years

Son's age = y years

Difference between father's & son's age is 28 years. i.e.

Father's age - son's age = 28

42 - y = 28

42 - 28 = y

y = 42 - 28

y = 14
