Answer 4

howd you come up wuth that answer?

Answer 5

let x be the age of karlo
so fathers age is x+26
given sum = 42
so x+(x+26)=42
2x+26=42
x=8
which is karlos age
father = x+26 = 34
after 5 years
just add 5 to their ages
so 39 and 13

Answer 6

sorry 5 years back their ages would be 8 and 34
presently their age is 13 and 39

Answer 7

Let age of Karlo's father=x
age of Karlo=y
then x-y=26
Five years before age of Karlo's father =x-5
age of Karlo=y-5
By the question
x-5+y-5=42
or x+y=42+10=52
x+y=52
x-y=26
adding 2x=78
x=39
y=52-39=13
age of Karlo=13
age of Karlo's father= 39
