Answers
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.
