Step-by-step explanation:

Let Father's age be x

Let Son's age be y

  • According to condition ¹
  • x+y=64......¹
  • According to condition ²
  • 2x-2y=2x+2y
  • -2y and 2y gets cancelled
  • 2x=2x.......²
  • 2x-y=0....²
  • x+y=64. (subtract eq ² from ¹)
  • x=-64
  • Substitute value in equation ¹
  • -64+y=64
  • y=64+64
  • y=128
