F = father's present age

S = son's present age

After five years father will be F + 5 yrs old.

After five years son will be S + 5 yrs old.

After five years, the sum of their years will be 70.

F + 5 + S + 5 = 70

F + S + 10 = 70

F + S = 70 - 10 = 60

Four years ago father was F - 4 yrs old.

Four years ago son was S - 4 yrs old.

Mark sum of their ages four years ago as Σ

Four years ago sum of their ages was:

Σ = F - 4 + S - 4

Σ = F + S - 8

You already know:

F + S = 60

so

Σ = F + S - 8

Σ = 60 - 8 = 52
