2 you are currently 5 times as old as your son In 6 years time you will be three times as old as he will be then What are your ages?

If x is the age of the son, then 5x would be the age of the father. In 6 years, the son would be x + 6 years old, where the father would be 3(x + 6) years old. Since the original age of the father is 5x, then in 6 years the father could also be said to be 5x + 6 years old. Setting these two expressions for the father's age as an equation, we then can solve for x, the son's age. 3(x + 6) = 5x +6 3x + 18 = 5x + 6 2x = 12 x = 6 The original age of the son is 6 and of the father (5x) is 30 years old. In 6 years, the son would be 12 and the father would be [3x + 18 or 5x + 6] 36 years old.

Not possible to give a definitive answer without at least one more variable - there are too many possibilities ! For example:- say the children are 5 & 3 - that would make the father 24. However - if they were 5 & 2, the father would be 21 OR if they were 5 & 6, he would be 33 !
