Question 954856: A man is 13 times as old as his son. In ten years he will be 3 times as old as his son will be then. How old is the son now? Answer by amarjeeth123(570) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the son's age be x.
Then the father's age is 13x.
In ten years their ages will be (x+10) and (13x+10).
(13x+10)=3(x+10)
13x+10=3x+30
10x=20
x=2
The son is 2 years old.
