Ages of the father, mother and son are 50, 46 and 14 respectively.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Let the age of the son be x. From given details, form equations.

Then age of father = 3x + 8

Age of mother = (3x + 8) - 4 = 3x + 4

Also, Age of mother = 18 + 2x

Step 2:

Equate the 2 equations for the age of mother.

⇒ 3x + 4 = 18 + 2x

⇒ x = 18 - 4 = 14

⇒ Age of father = 3x + 8 = 3×14 + 8 = 50

⇒ Age of mother = 3x + 4 = 46
