let the ages of two sons be 1x and 2x
the father's age be y
3(1x + 2x) = y
1x + 2x = y÷3
2(1x+2x + 10)=y+5
2÷3y +20=y-(2÷3)y
20-5=y-(2÷3)y
15=1÷3y
y=45
the father's age be y
3(1x + 2x) = y
1x + 2x = y÷3
2(1x+2x + 10)=y+5
2÷3y +20=y-(2÷3)y
20-5=y-(2÷3)y

Let sum of age of two children be x
father age =3×X =3X
after 5 years,
children age =x+10
father age =2(x+10)/ 3x+5
2(x+10)=3x+5
2x+20=3x+5
2x-3x=5-20
-x= -15
x=15
father age =3×X =3X
after 5 years,
children age =x+10
father age =2(x+10)/ 3x+5
2(x+10)=3x+5
2x+20=3x+5
2x-3x=5-20
-x= -15
x=15
