Answer
let
father's present age be 'x' years
his son's age be 'y'years
ATQ
x=3(3+y)
x-3y=9_______{1}
three years from now
father's age (x+3)
son's age (y+3)
(x+3)=2(y+3)+10
x+3=2y+6+10
x-2y=13__________{2}
By elimination method
by subtracting {1} and {2}
x-2y=13
x-3y=9
y=4..............{3}
Substitute {3} in {1}
x-3(4)=9
x-12=9
x=21......
Father's present age is 21
His son's present age is 4
