You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the table shows the present & later ages of father & son
son father sum present age difference
present age x say 50-x 50 given 50-x-x
.................................................................
when son age
is same to
present age
of his father 50-x 50-x+50-x-x 102
...........................................................
so 50-x+50-x+50-x-x=102
or 150-4x=102
or 4x=150-102=48
or x=48/12=12 yrs = son's age
& father's age=50-12=38 yrs
