Question

a father is 26 years older than his son. When the father and his son are both 5 years older, the father's age will be thrice that of his son's. ​

Answer 1

Let the father’s age be x and son’s age be x - 26

According to question,

x=3(x-26)

x = 3x - 78

78=2x

x=39

Father's age is 39

Son’s age is 13
