Answer 1

36 year man age
12 year son age

Answer 2

present age of the son be X and that of the man b y

first condition

3( x -6) = (y - 6 )

3x-18=y-6

3 x -y - 18 - 6 =0

3x-y = 25.........1

2(x+6)=(y+6)

2x+12=y+6

2x-y =-6.........2

SUBTRACT BOTH EQUATION

3x-y = 25

2x-y =-6

(-) (+) (+)

___________

x =31

present age of man is 31 years

put x = 31 in eq 1
3x-y=25
3(31) - y = 25
93 - 25=y
68= y
