thanks for free point follow me

Answer 2

Answer:

Son age = 6 years, Father age = 30 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the present age of son.

And 5x be the present age of father.

After 18 years,

The son age will be x+18

The age of father is 5x+18

A.T.Q,

5x+18 = 2(x+18)

5x+18 = 2x+36

5x-2x = 36-18

3x = 18

x = 18/3

x = 6

The present age of son is 6 years.

Then,the father's present age will be 5x

= 5×6 = 30 years.
