Question 174422
    The present age of a father is three times that of his son but after 22 ears it will be only twice that of his son. Find their present ages.
.
Let x = son's age
then
3x = father's age
.
3x+22 = 2(x+22)
3x+22 = 2x+44
x+22 = 44
x = 22 years (son's age)
.
father's age:
3x = 3(22) = 66 years (father's age)
