Question

A man is 28 years older than his son .if 3 years hence he will be 5 times as old as his son will then be, what are the present ages of father and son?

Answer 1

Let the age of son be x

Then his father's age is 28+x

According to the question

28+x+5=5(x+5)

=33+x=5x+25

=33-25=5x-x

4x=8

x=2

So son's age is 2years

And

Father's age is 30 years

Hope you understood☺️

Answer 2

Answer:

Son = 6.2 years; Father = 28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the son's age be $x$.

Man's age present age = 28

3 years later, man's age will be 5 times the age of the son = 5$x$

His age will also be his current age + 3 = 28 + 3 = 31 years

∴ 5$x$ = 31 years

∴ $x$ = $\frac{31}{5}$ = 6.2

∴ The present age of son = 6.2 years

And present age of father = 28 years
