Answer:

46 and 22

Step-by-step explanation:

let the father b (f) and d son is (s)

so

f=3s.....(1)

(f+10) +(s+10)=68 .... (2)

substitute f=3s in equation (2)

we have

(3s+10)+(s+10)=68

4s+20=68

4s=68-20

4s=48

s=12 .......(3)

substitute (3) in (1)

f=3*12

which f=36

in 10 year time

f+10 =46

s+10=22
