1. let the father’s age be x

   father’s age 5 years ago = x-5

   let your present age be y

   then your age 5 years ago= y-5

   now according to question,

   =>x-5+2y=65

   =>x+2y=70——-1

   next

   =y-5+3x= 130

   =3x+y=135——-2 ×2

   subtracting 2 from 1

   x+2y=. 70

   6x+2y=.270

   -. -. –

   ——————-

   -5x. =. -200

   5x = 200

   x=200/5

   x= 40

   so age of dad = x. = 40 y/o
