PLZ MARK AS BRAINLIEST!

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of his Son be x years.

Age of the Man =  (28 + x) years.

ATQ ( According to Question)

Sum of their ages is 72 years

x +  28 + x + 72

⇒ 2x + 28 = 72

⇒ 2x = 72 - 28

⇒ 2x = 44

⇒ x = 44/2

⇒ x = 22

Man's age = 28 + 22 = 50 years.

Hence, his son age is 22 years.

And Man's age is 50 years.
