Step-by-step explanation:

X will be the speed of species b and 4x will be the speed of species a:
x + 4x = 180
5x = 180
x = 180 / 5
x = 36 m/h
If species b has a speed of 36 m/h, the speed of species a is 4 times that:
4 x 36 = 144 m/h.

Answer:
Now, the father is 60, and the son is 24.
Step-by-step explanation:
Now:
Father's age = f
Son's age = s
4 years ago:
Father's age = f - 4
Son's age = s - 4
In 12 years:
Father's age = f + 12
Son's age = s + 12
Now:
f = 3(s - 4)
In 12 years:
f + 12 = 2(s + 12)
We have 2 equations that we can solve in a system of equations.
f = 3(s - 4)
f + 12 = 2(s + 12)
f = 3s - 12
f + 12 = 2s + 24
f = 3s - 12
f = 2s + 12
Since above both equations are in terms of f, set the right sides equal and solve for s.
3s - 12 = 2s + 12
s = 24
f = 3(s - 4)
f = 3(24 - 4)
f = 3(20)
f = 60
Now, the father is 60, and the son is 24.
36x = 15480
x = 15480/36
x = 5160/12
x = 2580/6
x = 860/2
x = 430
