hope it helps you and please make me brainliest thank you

Step-by-step explanation:

A man is 26 year older than his son after 10 years he will be 3 times old as his son find there present ages?

Let the present age of son = x yrs

∴ present age of father = (x+ 26) yrs

After 10 years

Age of son will be = (x+10) yrs

Age of father will be = (x+26+10) = (x+36)years

According to the question

x+36 = 3 (x+10)

x+36 = 3x + 30

x-3x = 30–36

-2x = -6 ( ‘-’ SIGN CANCELS OUT )

∴ x = 3

Hence , the present age of son = 3 years

∴ Present age of father = 3+26 = 29 years
