Father and son

The age of a father is 5 times the age of his son. After 10 years, the age of the father will be 3 times the age of the son. Find the present age of both of them.

Final Answer:

f =  50
s =  10

Step-by-step explanation:

f=5s f+10 = 3(s+10)  5s+10=3(s+10)  5 s+10=3 (s+10)  2s=20  s=220=10  s=10  f=5 s=5 10=50
