Answer 2

Answer:

Son's age =15 years

Your's age = 45 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let your son's age be X

Then, your age =3X

After five years,

Your son's age = X+5

Your age = 2½ Of son's age (A. T. Q.)

=2½*(X+5)

BUT,

YOUR AGE SHOULD BE= 3X+5

SO,

ON FORMING AN EQUATION--------

>>. 3X+5=2½(X+5).

X=15 YEARS

SINCE SON'S AGE WAS X

HENCE SON'S AGE IS 15 YEARS

&

Since your age was 3x

Your age =45years

NOTE:) ALL THE EQUATION HERE ARE TO BE NOTED FRACTIONALLY AS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO RIGHT NOW AWAY
