Let F be the father's current age.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let S be the son's current age.
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"F=3%2AS\" and \"%28F%2B10%29=2%2A%28S%2B10%29\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since we have F by itself, substitute this value for F into the second equation:
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28F%2B10%29=2%2A%28S%2B10%29\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%283%2AS%2B10%29=2%2A%28S%2B10%29\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3%2AS%2B10=2%2AS%2B20%29\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"S=10%29\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If S=10, then we know
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"F=3%2AS\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"F=3%2A10\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"F=30\"
\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus, the father is currently 30 years old, and his son is 10 years old.
