Answer:

Hello,

Step-by-step explanation:

I am just reply to see if i really understand that problem

Let's assume s the present age of the son, and f the present age of the father.

[tex]\begin {array}{c|c|c}&son&father\\now&s&f=3*s\\in\ 10\ years&s+10&f+10\\\end{array}[/tex]

The age of the son After 10 years is equal to the age of the father before 20 years:

s+10=f+10-20

f=3s

=> s+10=f-10

=> s+10=3s-10

=> 2s=20

=> s=10 and  f=30
