Let the present age of son =x
Then, the present age of father =3x
According to the question,
The age of son after 12 years =x+12
And the age of father after 12 years =2(x+12)
Therefore,
3x+12=2(x+12)
3x+12=2x+24
x=12
So, the present age of son is 12 years and present age of father is 36 years.
Answer:
dip age 12
dip father 60
Step-by-step explanation:
dip = x year
dip father = 5x
after 12 years dip = x +12
dip father = 3(x+12)
therefore 3(x+12) = 5x + 12
3x+36 = 5x + 12
2x = 24
x = 12
dip age 12
dip father 60
