Suppose, present age of father = x years and present age of son = y years
y+2=3(x+2)+8
y+2=3x+6+8
y+2=3x+15
y=3x+15-2
y=3x+13
y-3x=13
This is the linear equation to the above statement
y+2=3(x+2)+8
y+2=3x+6+8
y+2=3x+15
y=3x+15-2
y=3x+13
y-3x=13
This is the linear equation to the above statement

the equation is 3y + 8 = x and the dad is 38 because 3 x son age ( 10 ) = 30 + 8 = 38
