Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the age of soon be x years

then, father's age = 3x years (given in question that father's age is three Times sons age)

Sum of their ages = 48 years

therefore;

x + 3x = 48 years

4x = 48 years

x = 48/ 4

x = 12

so the age of son is 12 years

and the age of father is 36 years.
