Let’s say son’s age = S
Dad’s age = D
4 years ago, the son was (S-4) and dad now is three times that so D=3(S-4)
Expand that to get D=3S-12

In 12 years, the son will be (S + 12)
Dad will also be (D + 12) and he will be two times the sons age at that point so:
D + 12 = 2(S + 12)
Expand the right side:
D +12 = 2S + 24
Subtract 12 from both sides:
D = 2S + 12
So now D = 2S + 12 AND
D = 3S - 12
Since both equations equal “D”, they must then equal each other:
2S + 12 = 3S - 12
Do some algebra and you get S = 24
Plug this back into EITHER “D=“ equations to find D
D=2(24) +12
D=60
