Answer:
Age of father is 40 and age of son is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let F and S be the current ages of the father and son respectively.
From the first statement: F = 5 S
From the second statement:
F - 5 = 10(S - 5).
So F - 5 = 10S - 50 or F = 10S - 45
Combining this last equation with the first:
5S = 10S - 45
=>> 45 = 5S (adding 45 to both sides and subtracting 5S from both sides)
Dividing by 5 gives us 9 = S
So the father is 45 and the son is 9.
Five years ago they were 40 and 4.
