You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let son's age be x,
Father's age=x+25
If the father is five years more than three times as old as his son,
Then.,
x+25+5=3x
x+30=3x
3x-x=30
2x=30
x=15
Then,
Father=x+25
but x=15
Therefore,
father=15+25
=40
Son's age is 15years
father's age is 40years
HOPE THIS HELPS?
