Answer:

[tex]f = 7s -2[/tex]

[tex]f + s =53[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

f = Father's age

s = Son's age

We'll solve this question, while reading through the instructions

From the first statement;

f is 2 less than 7 times s.

This means

[tex]f = 7s -2[/tex]

In two years time, the father will be f +2 and the son will be s + 2

So, their sum is:

[tex](f+2) + (s + 2) = 57[/tex]

[tex]f + 2 + s + 2 =57[/tex]

Collect like terns

[tex]f + s =57-2-2[/tex]

[tex]f + s =53[/tex]

So, the equations are:

[tex]f = 7s -2[/tex]

[tex]f + s =53[/tex]
