$\underline{\bigstar\:\boldsymbol{According\;to\; the\; Question \; :}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• After twelve years, the man will be twice as old as his son.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Therefore,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\begin{gathered}:\implies\sf{3x+12=2(x+12)}\\\\\\:\implies\sf{3x+12=2x+24}\\\\\\:\implies\sf{3x-2x=24-12}\\\\\\:\implies\underline{\boxed{\pink{\frak{x=12}}}}{\;\bigstar}\end{gathered}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hence,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Present age of son, x = 12 years
• Present age of man, 3x = 3(12) = 36 years

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

${\underline{\sf{Hence,\;the\;son\;and\;the\;man's\;present\;ages\;are\;{\textsf{\textbf{12\;years\;\&\;36\;years}}}}.}}$
