SOLUTION: A man is 24 years older than his son. In 2 years he will be twice the age of his son. Find the preset age of the son.

Let son's age be x
Then man's age is x+24
In 2 years, son's age would be x+2 and man's age would be (x+24)+2 = x+26
From the second statement

Simplifying

So son's age is  and man's age is
