Problema Solution
At the time when Jay's son was born, Jay's age was twenty years less than twice his wife's age, and the sums of their age was 64. If Jay was born on 1948, how old will his son be in 2001?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let 'j', 'w' stand for the age of Jay and his wife when their son was born. From the given information, we can write:
When Jay's son was born:
j=2w-20
j+w=64
Using Algebrator to solve for 'j' and 'w', we get:
j=36
w=28
Since Jay was born in 1948, his son was born in (1948+36)=1984. Therefore, in 2001, his son will be:
Age of son in 2001=2001-1984= 17 years old.
