Reece · Answer 1

Let

Y be the age of Franco's dad.

X Franco's age

Y = 3*X (1)

(Y + 10) = 2 * (X+10) + 2 (2)

(3*X + 10) = 2*X + 20 + 2

(3-2) X = 22 - 10

X = 12 years old (Franco)

Y = 3*12 = 36 years old (Franco's dad)

Chelsea · Answer 2

If we assume the age of Francos is x, then dad will be 3x

In 10 years

Francos = x+10

Dad = 3x+10

Therefore, 3x+10 = 2 (x+10) + 2

3x + 10 = 2x+20+2

x = 22-10

x = 12

Therefore, the present ages will be

Francos = 12 years

Dad = 36 years
