Answer 1

Answer:

Son's age = 10 years

Father's age = 30 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Son's age = x

Father's age = 3x

Five years ago:

Son's age = x - 5

Father's age = 3x - 5

5(x - 5) = 3x - 5

5x - 25 = 3x - 5

5x - 3x = -5 + 25

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10

Son's age = x = 10 years

Father's age = 3x = 3 × 10 = 30 years

Check ⇒

Five years ago:

Son's age = x - 5 = 10 - 5 = 5

Father's age = 3x - 5 = 30 -5 = 25

5 × 5 = 25

25 = 25
