Here is your answer

let the age of son is x
so father age is 60- x

After 14 year
Son age is x + 14
Father age is. 60-x +14. = 74 - x

According to question
74- x = 3(x  + 14) \\ 74 - x = 3x  +  42 \\ 3x + x = 74  - 42 \\ 4x = 32\\ x = 32\div 4 \\ x = 9\\ so \\ son \: age \:  = 9 \\ father \: age \:  = 60 - 9 = 51
Hope it helps you
