efren is now 25 years older than his son in 7 years he will be 3 years more than the thrice as his son age. what are their present ages
**
let x=son's present age
x+25=efren's present age
..
7 yrs hence
son's age =x+7
efren's age=x+25+7
..
x+25+7=3(x+7)+3
x+32=3x+21+3
2x=8
x=4
x+25=29
son's present age=4
efren's present age=29
