Call x,y be your age and your father 3 years after respectively.From the hypothesis we have { ((x+y−6=90)),((((y−8)/(x−8))=3)) :} ⇔ { ((x+y=96)),((3x−y=16)) :} ⇔ { ((x+y=96)),((4x=112)) :} ⇔ { ((x=28)),((y=68)) :} Hence,now you are 25 year− olds and your father is 65 year−olds

x+y−6^(???) =90

$$\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y}\overset{???} {−\mathrm{6}}=\mathrm{90} \\ $$

it is (x−3)+(y−3)=90 sir!thank you

$$\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{is}\:\left(\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{3}\right)+\left(\mathrm{y}−\mathrm{3}\right)=\mathrm{90}\:\mathrm{sir}!\mathrm{thank}\:\mathrm{you} \\ $$

Using one variable determinant ((,(your age),,(father′s age)),((−−−−),(−−−−),−,(−−−−−)),((Now),( x),,( 90−x)),((5_(years) ago),( x−5),,( 85−x)),((−−−−),(−−−−),−,(−−−−−)),(,( 3(x−5)),=,(85−x)),((Equation),( 4x),=,(85+15)),(,( x),=,(25)),(,( 90−x),=,(65)),((−−−−),(−−−−),−,(−−−−−)),((Result),( 25),,( 65))) After 3 years: your age=25+3=28 years your father′s age 65+3=68 years
