Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP SOLUTION:
We will be using simultaneous equations to solve this problem.
Let's establish the two equations we will be using to solve the problem.
Let Andrew's current age = a
Let Andrew's son's current age = s
Equation No. 1 -
a = 3s
Equation No. 2 -
a - 10 = 5s
To begin with, we will substitute the value of ( a ) from the first equation into the second equation to solve for ( s ).
Equation No. 2 -
a - 10 = 5s
( 3s ) - 10 = 5s
3s - 5s = 10
- 2s = 10
s = 10 / - 2
s = - 5
Next we will substitute the value of ( s ) from the second equation into the first equation to solve for ( a ).
Equation No. 1 -
a = 3s
a = 3 ( - 5 )
a = - 15
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, the present age of Andrew is - 15 and the present age of Andrew's son's is - 5.
It isn't possible for someone to be negative years old, but this is the answer that I ibtained from the equations.
Hope this helps! :)

0.36x10=36.363636
0.36x1000=3636.363636
3636.36-36.36=3600
1000x-10x=990
3600/990=360/99
120/33=40/11 I think?

which language please and write in english so I will understand and after it all i will edit my answer
Sum of interior angles of a pentagon = 540 degrees
So 540/5 = 108 degrees
A single interior angle of a pentagon is 108 degrees
