Answer:
Let present age of son be x years.
Hence, my present age = 5x
After 6 years of time:
Son's age = (x +6) years
My age = (5x + 6) years
According to the given information:
5x + 6 = 3(x+6)
5x + 6 = 3x+18
5x - 3x = 18 - 6
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x = 6
Therefore, 5x = 5*6 = 30
Thus,
Present age of son is 6 years and present age of mine is 30 years.
