Step-by-step explanation:
x + 24
x + 2
x + 24 + 2 = x + 26
(x + 26)/(x + 2) = 2/1
x + 26 = 2x + 4
x = 22 years
The present age of the son is 22 years.
Let the age of the son after 2 years be x.
Then the age of the man after 2 years be 2x.
The present age of son = x - 2
The present age of man = 2x - 2
According to the question:
2x - 2 - (x - 2) = 24
x = 22 years
