Aman age is three times his sons age. ten years ago was five times his sons age. find their current age.
pls fast

The son is 20

The man is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up this equation with what we know. Let m stand for the Man's current age, and let s stand for his son's current age.

We know the Man's current age is three times that of his son, so this equation can be written as: m = 3s

Ten years ago means the man's current age minus 10 years. So it is m-10. So ten years ago he was 5 times his son's age 10 years ago, 5(s-10)

This can be written as: m-10=5(s-10)

Solve with either substitution or elimination, the choice is yours, it doesn't really matter which method you use. I'll be using substitution.

m-10=5(s-10)

3s-10= 5s-50

40=2s

20 = s

The son is 20 years old.

We know the man is currently 3 times his son's age, because m=3s, so just solve for m since you now know the value of s.

m=3s

m=3(20)

m=60

The man is 60 years old
