Let the age of son be x and age of father be y.

Given 2x + y = 56

         x + 2y = 82

  On solving (1) and (2), we get

        2x + y - 2x - 4y = 56 - 164

           -3y = -108

              y = 36.

Substitute y in any above equations, we get

 2x  + 36 = 56

 2x = 20

 x = 10

 The age of the father is 36 and the age of son is 10 years.

hope it helpss :  )
