✨✨ HEYA !!!! HERE IS YOUR ANSWER✨✨
⏩Let S = son's age now
Let F = father's age now
Sum is 56 ==> S + F = 56
After 4 years father will be 3 times son
==> F + 4 = 3×(S + 4) = 3S + 12
==> F = 3S + 8
Substitute this value for F into the 1st equation
S + (3S + 8) = 56
4S + 8 = 56
4S = 48
S = 12
So, the son is 12 and the father is 56-12 = 44

Let x be the present age of the son.
So father's age will be 56-x
After 4 years the age of the father will be 3 times that of his son
(56−x+4)=3(x+4)
56−x−3x−12+4=0
4x = 56 -8
x = 12
The age of the son is 12 years.
The age of his father is 44 years.
So father's age will be 56-x
After 4 years the age of the father will be 3 times that of his son
(56−x+4)=3(x+4)
56−x−3x−12+4=0
4x = 56 -8
x = 12
The age of the son is 12 years.
The age of his father is 44 years.
