Answer 1

present ages
son =x
father=5x
after 6 years
5x+6=3(x+6)
5x+6=3x+18
5x-3x=18-6
2x=12
x=12/2
x=6
son =6years
father=5x
=5(6)=30years
ages are
son=6years,father=30years

Answer 2

Heya!
--------


=========================================================

◾Let age of Son be x years

◾Then age of Father = 5x years


After 6 years ->


( 5x + 6 ) = 3 ( x + 6 )


=> 5x + 6 = 3x + 18


=> 5x - 3x = 18 - 6


=> 2x = 12

=> x = 6


♦Age of Son = 6 years !

♦Age of Father = 6 × 5 = 30 years !
