Let the man's age be 'x' and
his son's age be 'y'.
Given the man is 28 years older than his son,
x=28+y→1
FUTURE:
After 10 years, he'll be thrice the old as his son.
∴x+10=3(y+10)
x+10=3y+30
x-3y=30-10
x-3y=20
Substituing this in 1, we get:
28+y-3y=20
-2y=20-28
-2y=-8
y=-8÷-2
⇒y=4.
Substituting this in 1, we get:
x=28+y
=28+4
∴x=32.
∴The present age of the man is 32 years and his son's is 4 years.
Hope this helps.. c:

Answer:
Let present age of son = x years
So, present age of father = x + 28 years,
After 10 years,
Age of son = x + 10 years
and age of father = x + 28 + 10 = x + 38 years,
Given that, after 10 years, age of father will be thrice as old as his son
=> x + 38 = 3(x + 10)
=> x + 38 = 3x + 30
=> 38 = 3x + 30 - x
=> 38 = 2x + 30
=> 2x = 38 - 30
=> 2x = 8
=> x = 8/2
=> x = 4
So, present age of son = x = 4 years
and present age of father = x + 28 = 4 + 28 = 32 years,
