--------------
The difference is 21 years
@ 42 & 21 you were 2x
You were 3x at ages 31.5 & 10.5

There will be no time in the future that you would be three times his age. However using x as his age you can use the formula:
3x = x + 21
(as you are 21 years older and would be three times his age at the same time. So you can then find out his age at the time (x)
3x - x = 21
2x = 21
x = 10.5
So he would be 10.5 and you would be 31.5
