Answer:

your present age is 50 years .

Step-by-step explanation:let x be your age y be your sons age.  

                                               case 1

                                           x-5  =y-5

                                           x-5  =3(y-5)

                                         x-3 y =-10 this is equation 1

                                              case 2

                                        x+10  = y+10

                                        x+10  = 2(y+10)

                                        x-2 y  = 10   this is equation 2

          find the value of y by elimination, y=20

                                             putting value of y in eq 2

                                   x-2(20) = 10

                                     x-40    = 10

                                         x      = 50

        therefore , age of yours is 50 years.
