Answer:   5s -3 = s -3 + 24    5s -3 = s + 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Father   f

Son   s .   present:  f = 5s  use this equation to substitute the equal value

3 years ago .  f-3 = s-3 + 24  

Substitute 5s for f in the second equation

5s -3 = s-3 + 24

works out as  5s -s = - 3  +3 + 24

4s = 24  

4s/4 = 24/4  

s = 6

The son's age is 6, The father is 30

I'm not good with intigers, but if you added two negative intigers together wouldn't it still be negative? If you added -1 to -2 you'd get -3. It would always be less than the two original integers.
