Answer 2

Answer:

Let the age of the boy be x. Then his father age is 3x.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 5 years their ages

Father=3x - 5

Son = x - 5

3x - 5 = 5(x - 5)

3x - 5 = 5x - 25

-5 + 25 = 5x - 3x

20 = 2x

10 = x

Therefore son age is 10 years and his father age is 30 years. (3x, x = 10 then 3×10=30)
