Question 998981
son's age now=x
son's age 3 years ago= x-3
father's age 3 years ago was such that x-3+f=48;f=51-x
Therefore, father's age now is 51-x+3=54-x
I am assuming now the father's age is 3 times that of his son.
54-x=3x
4x=54
x=13.5 years ANSWER
father's age now is 40.5 years.
3 years ago, the ages were 10.5 and 37.5, and they add to 48.
