a man is five times as old as his son. if the the sum of their ages is 72, find the difference between their ages 

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the son be x

age of man = 5x

sum of their ages = 72

so it becomes, x + 5x = 72

6x = 72

x = 72/6

x = 12

so son's age = 12 years

and man's age = 5x = 5 × 12 = 60

therefore, difference between their ages = 60 - 12 = 48
