Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let us assume father age as x

and son age as y

according to the first statement

x=5y

according to second statement

x+18=2(y+18)

substitute x=5y in second equation

5y+18=2y+36

5y-2y=36-18

3y=18

y=6

according to first statement x=5y

so x=5×6=30

present age of father is 30+18=48
