Answer:

The age of the son is 15 and the father's age is 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the age of the son. Let B be the age of the father. Now, we know that 3X = B, and in 5 years, so that is (X + 5)2.5 = B + 5.

We want only one unknown in an equation, so since B = 3X, we substitute 3X into B, that is --> (X + 5)2.5 = 3X + 5. Solving this equation gives X = 15, so the son's age is 15 years, and therefore, the father's age is 3 times 15 which is 45.

I am not 100% sure though.
