of my son

Answer 1

I think it’s 27 years old

Answer 2

Answer:

Your age = 45

Your son's age = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s say the sons age is S and the your age is equal to Y. We need two equations to solve this:

Our first equation will be:

3S = Y (because 3 times the sons age is equal to the your age)

Our second equation we need to add 5 years to both your and sons age so it will be:

(S+5)2.5 = Y + 5

Now we can substitute the first d into the second equation or s.

So we get:

(S+5)2.5 = 3S + 5

2.5S+12.5 = 3S + 5

-.5S = -7.5

S = 15

So the sons age is 15 and your age is 45 (3 times the sons age) . Five years later the son is 20 and you are 50 (2.5 the sons age).

Hope it helps!
