...i know it's easy but i already forget it because of chemistry my favorite subject.haha Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! son's age x
father's age 3x
4 years ago
son's age x-4
father's age3x-4
father 4 times older
3x-4=4(x-4)
3x-4=4x -16
-x=-16-4
-x=-12
x=12 son's age
