Question

a man say to his son seven years ago I was seven times as old as you were and three years hence I shall be three times as old as you find their ages​

Answer 1

Answer:

mans age is 42 years and sons age is 12 years respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

let mans age be x

let sons age be y

therefore, first case

x-7 = 7(y-7)

x-7y+42=0

second case,

x+3 = 3(y+3)

x-3y-6=0

by equating both the cases,

we get that y is 12 and x is 42

therefore their ages are 42 and 12 respectively.
