(x/3)+ (4/5)x = 17 multiply both sides by 15
5 x + 12 x = 255
17 x = 255

Let's assume the current age of son is x years old.

According to the problem statement, the father is four times as old as his son. Therefore, father's age will be 4x years old.

In four years, the son's age will be (x+4) and the father's age will be (4x+4).

Also, according to the problem statement, in four years time (i.e., after adding 4 to their current ages), the father's age will be three times as old as his son. This can be written as:

4x + 4 = 3(x + 4)

Solving for x, we get:

4x + 4 = 3x + 12
x = 8

So, the current age of son is 8 years old.

Therefore, the current age of father is 4x = 4(8) = 32 years old.
