The difference between your age and your father's age is 30-3 = 27 years, and
it means that your father is always 27 years older than you.
Let x be your age. Then your father's age is (x+27).
Then the condition says
x = , or
5x = 2*(x+27),
5x = 2x + 2*27,
5x - 2x = 54 ====> 3x = 54 ====> x = = 18.
Answer. You are 18 years old now.
