Answer:

Do mark the answer as brainliest

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

letfather's age = x

son's age = y

5 years hence, age of father = x+5 

                                 

age of son = y+5

So (x+5) = 3(y+5)

⇒ x =3y+10

5 years ago, age of father = x-5   

 age of son = y-5

So x-5 = 7(y-5)

⇒3y + 10 - 5 = 7y - 35

⇒ 4y = 40

⇒y = 10  age of son

   x = 3y +10 = 40

son age = 10 years

father's age= 40 years
