Nelson is 8 years old. His father is 36 years old. How old will Nelson and his father be when the sum of their ages is 62?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nelson will be 17, and his father will be 45.

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's say 9 years went by. N= Nelson, F= Father

N 8+9 = 17

F 36+9 = 45

45 + 17 = 62.

BOOOOOOM!!!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Nelson: 17, Father: 45

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + 36 = 44          13 + 41 = 54

9 + 37 = 46          14 + 42 = 56

10 + 38 = 48         15 + 43 = 58

11 + 39 = 50         16 + 44 = 60

12 + 40 = 52         17 + 45 = 62
