Let the present age of father be x and that of his Son Be y
Then 18 years ago
Father's age =x−18
Son's age =y−18
But given that
x−18=3(y−18)
⇒x−18=3y−54
⇒x−3y+36=0 (1)
Also given that x=2y (2)
From (1) & (2)
x−3y=36=0
⇒2y−3y+36=0
⇒y=36
Putting y=36 in (2)
x=2y
=2×36
=72
Sum of their present ages
=x+y
72+36
=108
