Step-by-step explanation:
Let the present age of Tina's son be x years and her age be y years.
Five years ago,
Son's age =x-5
Tina's age=y-5
ATQ,
y-5=6(x-5)
or y-5=6x-30
or 6x-y=25.....(i)
After 5 years,
Tina's age=y+5
Son's age=x+5
ATQ
y+5=6+2(x+5)
or y+5=6+2x+10
or 2x-y=-11......(ii)
Subtracting (ii) from (i),
4x=36
or x=9
Substitute x in (ii),
18-y=-11
or y=29.
Hence, Tina is presently 29 years old and her son is presently 9 years old.
