Let x be the number .
3x-7=53
3x=53+7
3x=60
x=20
∴ The number is 20 .

Let x be the age of the son .
x+(x+28)=100
x+x+28=100
2x=100-28
2x=72
x=36
∴ The son is 36 years old and the father is 64 years old .

1. Suppose the number is Y

Y x 3-7=53
3Y =53+7
3Y=60
Y=20

You got the number is 20.

2. Suppose the age of the sun is M, so the age of his father is (28+M)

M + (28+M)=100
2M=100-28
M=36

so you got the age of the sum is 36

the age of his father 28+M=28+36=64
參考: myself
