______________

Step-by-step explanation:

let be son as x

father be 5x

at the birth of his son:

5x-36 - (x-36) = 36

5x - 36 -x + 36 = 36

Canceling terms "-36+36 =0"

Well

5x - x = 36

4x = 36

x = 36/4

x= 9

Correct answer:

Present ages:

son's age = 9

Father's age: 9×5 = 45

at the birth of his son: 45 -9 = 36 as mentioned in question

All the best
