Ⲁⲛ⳽ⲱⲉⲅ:

The present age of the son is 22 years .

Ⲋⲟⳑⳙⲧⳕⲟⲛ :

Let us assume that the present age of the son is x years . Therefore according to question, we can say that the present age of his father will be x + 24 years. Then after two years, the age of the man will be twice the age of his son , i.e:


\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf {(x + 24) + 2 = 2 ( x + 2 ) }


\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf { x + 26 = 2x + 4}


\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf {2x -x = 26 - 4 }


\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \underline{\sf {x = 22 }}

Hence, the present age of the son is 22 years.
