Re: Problem with Ages

hailey - grandfather , arthur - father, clarke-son
Let their ages be g, f, s (ages now)
here we should rem that the diff between ages will be constant.
given,When f is as old as g, their ages will be
g+(g-f)
f+(g-f)
s+(g-f)
and given that, f+(g-f)=5s
there fore g=5s--->s=g/5
s+(g-f)=f-8 => s+g=2f-8
by substituting above value
6g=10f-40
i think with the given information we can draw up to this,
plz if any one knows share ur ans
