Question

a father is 30 years older than his son. In 12 years, the man will be three times as old as his son. Find their present ages.​

Answer 1

Answer:

sons=3years, fathers age= 33years.

Step-by-step explanation:

let sons age be x

then fathers age = x+30

after 12 years,

sons age= x+12

fathers age => x+30+12= x+42

A/q

3(x+12)=x+42

3x+36=x+42

3x-x=42-36

2x=6

x=6/2

x=3 years

sons age= 3years

fathers age= x+30

=3+30

=33 years.
