A man is 24 years older than his son. After two years, his age will be three times that of his son. Find their present ages.

Answer 1

hey mate here is your answer

let the son age be X

and Father age be X+24

after two years

son age will be X +2

and Father age will be X + 24+2

according to your question

$X + 24+2= 3(X+2)$

$X -3x = -26+6$

$- 2X= - 20$

$X= -20/-2$

$X = 10$

their present ages are

son age = 10 years

father age =24 +10 =34 years

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the sons present Age be x years.

Then, Mans present age will be (x + 24) years.

According to Question :

➳ x + 24 + 2 = 3(x + 2)

➳ x + 26 = 3x + 6

➳ 26 - 6 = 3x - x

➳ 2x = 20

➳ x = 10 years

Therefore,the present age of his son is 10 years.
