Step-by-step explanation:
let Aman's son's age be x then Aman's age will be 3x
Ten years ago-
3x - 10 = 5(x - 10)
=>3x - 10 = 5x - 50
Transpose 50 to the left and 3x to the right
=>50 - 10 = 5x - 3x
=> 40 = 2x
Interchange the sides
=> 2x = 40
=> x = 40/2
=> x = 20
Therefore Aman's age = 3x = 3 x 20 = 60
