Step-by-step explanation:
let the age of father be x and boy be y .
x+y = 59
x = 59-y
(x +3 )(y+3 ) = 750 .
(59 -y +3)(y+3) = 750
62 -y × y+3
62y -y² + 186 -3y = 750
y² - 59y +564
y² -12y - 47y +564 = 0
y(y-12) - 47( y-12)
y = 12 or 47
Son cannot be 47 years so son's age is 12 years .
Father will be 47 years
