Answer 1

Answer:

please mark me in brainlist

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the present age as Son =x yrs

Present age of father =y yrs

Two years ago :

Son's age =(x−2) yrs

Father's age =(y−2) yrs

Therefore, y−2=3(x−2)

3x−y=4 ...(1)

After Two years:

Son's age =(x+2) yrs

Father's age =(y+2) yrs

Therefore, 2(y+2)=5(x+2)

5x−2y=−6 ....(2)

Solving equations 1 & 2, we get

x=14 & y=38

Hence, present age of Son is 14 yrs and present age of father is 38 yrs.
