If the age of father and son is 84.The age of father is three times of son then find the age of father and son.also show in graph.
-------
Equations:
f + s = 84
f = 3s
----
Substitute for "f" and solve for "s":
3s+s = 84
4s = 84
s = 21 (son's age now)
-----
Solve for "f":
f = 3s
f = 3*21
f = 63 (father's age now)
