Step-by-step explanation:
Let grandson's age be x.
Let grandpa's age be y {equation : y = 8+5x}
so,
x + y = 88
or, x + 8+ 5x = 88 (substituting the value of y)
or, 6x + 8 =88
or, 6x = 88-8
or, 6x = 80
or, x = 80/6
so, x = 13.33
so grandson's age = 13.33
grandpa's age = 8 + 5x = 8 + (5×13.33) = 74.65 yrs
