Answer:    My = 50                     Son = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let my age = x

Let my son age = y

Equation                                                 Adding both equation      

1. (x-5) = 3(y-5)                                        10+10 = 3y-2y-x+x

   x-5 = 3y - 15                                         y = 20

   3y-x = 10

2. (x+10) = 2(y+10)                                    putting y in eq 1

   x+10 = 2y+20                                       60-x = 10

   x-2y = 10                                              x = 50
