Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. you take the son's age as X and his father 4X since he is 4times older.
2. take X+16=Y ....Y is the son's years 16years to come
3. you also take 4X+16=2Y....2Y represents the dad been twice as old as the son
4. since we've seen X+16=Y you substitute 4X+16=2(X+16). e 4X+16=2X+32 Take X to one side 4X-2X=32-16. 2X=16 Divide 2 both side. X=8
5. So son's present age is 8 while father's age is 4*8=32
