Explanation:-

sons age x

fathers age x+26

3 years later

sons age x+3

fathers age x+26+3 =x+29

if son is 1/3 of father's age , father is 3 times sons age

fathers age 3 times older

x+29=3(x+3)

x+29=3x +9

3x-x=29 -9

2x=20

/2

x=10 sons age

x + 26 = 36 years fathers age

Answer 2

Answer:

sons age x

fathers age x+26

3 years later

sons age x+3

fathers age x+26+3 =x+29

if son is 1/3 of father's age , father is 3 times sons age

fathers age 3 times older

x+29=3(x+3)

x+29=3x +9

3x-x=29 -9

2x=20

x=10 sons age

x + 26 = 36 years fathers age
