Answer:
Father's age = 48
Daughter's age = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be father's age and y be daughter's age.
1st equation:
x = 2y
2nd equation:
(x - 16) = 4(y - 16)
Replacing value of x from 1st equation,
(2y - 16) = 4(y - 16)
2y - 16 = 4y - 64
4y - 2y = 64 - 16
2y = 48
y = 48/2
y = 24
And,
x = 2y
x = 2 x 24
x = 48
8x - x = 64 - 16
7x = 48
