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)
Hope it helps you
