Sam age is now 40
And Sam's son is 12
Before 8yrs Sam's son will be 4yrs and Sam age will be 32
So today Sam's age is 40 and his son 12

hi there,
let x be sam s sons age before 8 years 
then sam s age= 8x
therefore 8x+8+x+8=52
9x+16=52
x=36/9=4
therefore  sams sons age =4+8=12
therefore sams age =8*4+8=40
i hope this helps u...
