Let the son's age be x
Fathers age = 8x
After 2 yrs,
Father's age = 6(x+2)
So 8x +2 = 6(x+2)
8x+2 = 6x+12
8x-6x = 12-2
2x = 10
x = 5
Son's present age = 5
Father's present age = 5*8 = 40
Fathers age = 8x
After 2 yrs,
Father's age = 6(x+2)
So 8x +2 = 6(x+2)
8x+2 = 6x+12
8x-6x = 12-2
2x = 10
x = 5
Son's present age = 5
Father's present age = 5*8 = 40
