Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the age of the son be x

(Given) the age of man is 2x ( two times of the age of the son)

12 years ago

(Given) the age of man = 2x-12

ATQ

-------

<=> 3(x-12) = 2x-12

<=> 3x-36 = 2x-12

<=> 3x-2x = 36-12

<=> x = 24

Therefore, the present age of the son is 24 years

And the present age of the man is =2x

=2 (24)

=48 years
