let the present age of father =x+10

the present age of his son =y+10

case 1,

ten years ago,

x+10=4(y+10)

x+10=4y+40

x - 4y=40-10

x - 4y=30 _______eq1

case 2

five years ago,

x+10=3(y+10)

x+10=3y+30

x - 3y=30-10

x - 3y=20_______eq2

division eq 1from eq 2

x - 4y=30

x - 3y=20

__________

- y= 10

y=10

x - 4y=30

x - 4(10)=30

x - 40 =30

x= 30+40

x=70.

I hope it's help you!
